Requests for Information about HIV/AIDS Prevention
--------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Hello, and great to hear from everyone asking about HIV/AIDS materi-
als and medical supplies! I have some info I will post in case it has
not been already, and also mention UNAIDS as a source of materials on
HIV/AIDS. There is a place called REMEDY (in the USA), which donates
surplus medical equipment and supplies to various countries; they can
be reached by accessing their website at:
http://www.remedynet.org
We at KAIPPG don't actually supply those materials ourselves (though
we are looking for them!); I was posting for someone who had written
to me, as I wanted to know myself. It would be great to know where
folks can get materials which various religious communities put out
about HIV/AIDS, and I will ask some colleagues and post about the re-
sults. There is a CD-ROM available from Global Strategies for
HIV/AIDS Prevention, called " Women, Children, and HIV: Resources for
Prevention and Treatment", which contains over 5,000 pages of text
about prevention, treatment, and care. Please contact them at:
mailto:GlobalHIV@aol.com
and
http://www.GlobalStrategies.org
Other suggestions (for Kenya in particular) include Ukweli Video Pro-
ductions at <ukweli@wananchi.com> , and the Youth Resource Center of
Worldview Kenya at <worldview@iconnect.co.ke> (this from Dominique
Marchand at Handicap International). For literature on children's
rights, I can try to find that out -- as I and others have been work-
ing on such projects regarding HIV/AIDS legislation -- and I will
post on that subject separately. Another suggestion is by Fred Ka-
kaire in Uganda: an NGO in the USA called SatelLife might help, and
they can be reached through their website at:
http://www.healthnet.org
There is also an individual who has some materials which may or may
not be available any longer (I believe these are faith-oriented); I
will not mention her name here (so as to protect the innocent,
haha!), but please contact me and I will pass the names along to her
(or please let me know if that material is still available, QQ!). And
see suggestions below about NPIN/Johns Hopkins, kindly provided by
Dr. Hassan Danesi.
I will try to do more checking myself, and would appreciate any post-
ings on the subject for all of us.
With many thanks and all best wishes,
Janet Feldman
Director, KAIPPG/International
