We are pleased to announce the addition of HIV/AIDS-related news from the Voice of America (VOA). A small number of files are now available from 2002 and 2004. Look for additional files over the next few weeks. Voice of America news articles are available in both Real Audio and MP3 formats, and are yet another unique addition to the AEGiS knowledgebase.

AEGiS is but one of the proud recipient agencies of the 18th Annual AIDS Walk Orange County, hosted by AIDS Services Foundation.
Nearly 10,000 of your closest friends and family will gather at UC Irvine on Sunday, June 6, in a fundraiser that improves the lives of everyone living in Orange County. As one of Orange County's largest walk-a-thon events, AIDS Walk supports nine (9) Recipient Agencies each of which is committed to providing quality care, education and advocacy to everyone in Orange County living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
