E-drug: HIV/AIDS
---------------------------------------------
What will ten thousand people from around the globe talk about when they
meet for the 12th World AIDSConference in June 1998?
Around ten thousand people are expected to take part in the 12th World
AIDS Conference in Geneva. But manythousands more people affected
by, working on or interested in HIV & AIDS will not be there to benefit
from
the discussions, or to add their own experiences, views and questions.
For the first time at a conference of this kind, electronic mail and the
Internet are being called on to bring us all together from different
corners
of the world to take part in the discussions leading up to and during the
conference.
This is your chance to take part and bring your voice onto the
International
agenda.
Discussion forums on current and contentious HIV-related issues have
been selected by the global NGO networks organizing the Community
Rendez-Vous and Symposia sessions at the Geneva Conference. The
topics covered are:
- Human rights
- Immigration and HIV/AIDS
- Networking among people living with HIV or AIDS
- Sex work
- Access to treatment and care
- Community-based research
- and an information service for journalists/media organizations.
Each of the forums will help to shape and direct many of the sessions
planned for the Conference in June.
