UNESCO AND AEGiS RESPOND TO THE HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC. . .

AEGiS News Service - October 25, 2002
Elizabeth Canepa


The goal of AEGiS (AIDS Education Global Information System) is to help provide access to the understanding and knowledge that will lead to better care, prevention, and a cure to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), in cooperation with many organizations, has placed AEGiS on their portal as an important reference in this unique initiative through its action for "Preventive education in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic." UNESCO's global-level response seeks to combat complacency, challenge stigmatization, overcome the tyranny of silence and promote more caring attitudes.

The AEGiS mandate is the humanitarian delivery of current information to those in need. Information about treatment advances, drug interactions and other important issues relating to HIV infection and AIDS. Access to this timely information can literally mean the difference between life and death.

In order to keep making this service a continued reality, we need your help. To access, edit and input this information on our website is very time consuming. THERE IS NO CHARGE for our service and NO ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY. Your generous donation of $10.00, $25,00, $50.00 or more will help to keep this service a continuing reality.
