>>>>> RESTORING HIV-SPECIFIC IMMUNITY

One particular immune defect - the loss of a patient's
HIV-specific immune response appears to be critical for HIV
disease progression.  Human trials are just beginning on drug
and other strategies to help the body restore this immune
function after it has been lost.

>>>>> FIND AN HIV TESTING LOCATION NEAR YOU

Being tested for the HIV virus is a personal decision.  Find the
nearest testing center to you with this easy-to-use interface.
Testing is usually anonymous or confidential - depending on the
state in which you live.

>>>>> CARING FOR THE SERIOUSLY ILL

"The Bedside Companion" is a comprehensive handbook for caring
for the seriously ill at home.  Written by Rodger McFarlane,
founding Executive Director of the Gay Men's Health Crisis in 
New York.

>>>>> AIDS FACT SHEETS - New / Updated

AIDS.ORG, in association with New Mexico AIDS InfoNet, continues
to present more in a comprehensive series of up-to date fact
sheets on HIV & AIDS treatment.

>>>>> AIDS DRUG PATENTS AND GLOBAL ACCESS

90% of the world's people with HIV have no access to modern
medicines - yet today the U.S. government has quietly become a
major obstacle to treatment availability, as big pharmaceutical
companies lobby to maximize their patent rights at any cost.
Activists could improve medical care for millions of people by
insisting on more balanced policies for essential medical 
technology.
