1.4 Periodical Postings on sci.med.aids (please contribute)
Various individuals and organizations have graciously posted thier
informational newsletters on sci.med.aids. These include:
o The CDC AIDS Daily Summary
Anne Wilson of the CDC says this of the Daily Summary:
"The AIDS Daily Summary has been produced for nearly seven years by
Information Inc., a publisher who produces similar electronic
newsletters for other topics. Until 1992, the AIDS Daily Summary was
a subscription- based service which individuals and organizations were
able to receive for a fee. Since 1992, the CDC National AIDS
Clearinghouse has contracted with Information Inc. so that the AIDS
Daily Summary can be provided free of charge to all interested
readers. We encourage duplication and redistribution so that as many
people as possible benefit. It is posted daily on CDC NAC ONLINE, the
Clearinghouse's online information system and on the AIDSNEWS
listserv, which redirects it to Sci.med.aids...
Information Inc. is responsible for collecting and editing the
information in the AIDS Daily Summary. The titles you see listed
are taken verbatim from the original article. Although the editors
try earnestly to make the summaries scientifically accurate, this
is often difficult because of ambiguous language in the original
article. For example, references to the term "infected with AIDS"
are sometimes unchanged from article to summary because the editors
can not tell from the original whether "HIV-infected" or "person
with AIDS" is correct. In general, the editors aim to follow the
language and "spirit" of the original article, because an important
purpose of the AIDS Daily Summary is to reflect *how* HIV/AIDS is
represented in the press.
We are always happy to get feedback from readers of the AIDS Daily
Summary. We pass on comments about the scope and quality of the
coverage to the editors. Comments should be emailed to John Fanning at
`aidsinfo@cdcnac.aspensys.com' or `clearinghous@delphi.com'. Anyone
interested in being on the AIDSNEWS listserv to receive the AIDS
Daily Summary and other news from CDC and the Federal government
can send a `subscribe aidsnews' message to
`listserv@cdcnac.aspensys.com'. Note that we also have a gopher server
at `cdcnac.aspensys.com'."
o NAPWA Medical Alert
o Kairos House Caregivers Newsletter
o VAMC Newsletter
The AIDS Information Newsletter is one of several electronic
services provided to librarians and health care professionals
within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The newsletter is
transmitted from the AIDS Information Center located in San
Francisco on alternate Fridays to all VA Medical Centers,
sci.med.aids, a number of bulletin boards, and the NIAID gopher
server (gopher.niaid.nih.gov). The Center takes full responsiblity
for all material; the content does not necessarily reflect the
viewpoints or policies of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
o AIDS Treatment News
o After All
What is "After All?"
"After All" is a newly created newsletter directed to those who have
lost or are losing a loved one to AIDS. As of March '95 the issues will
be monthly. We also hope to get those suffering from this disease to
pitch in and help others to better understand the unending suffering
this situation is causing . . . for so many!
