First the not good news....

AOL

Thanks to a few AEGiS subscribers, who rather than unsubscribe from the AEGiS News Service, chose to hit their 'this is spam' button, AOL has permanently blocked e-mail from AEGiS to AOL users. Therefore, AOL users cannot receive our HIV/AIDS News via e-mail, or any e-mail coming from AEGiS. This, of course, has been only one of the many problems we have had to deal with since we first started offering news via e-mail in 1992. It, unfortunately, is the most ugly of the problems. While our DNS guru was able to resolve most of the problems created by this event, the major reason AOL blocked us has not been resolved.

If you want to unsubscribe from the AEGiS news, now, or in the future, and don't remember how you originally subscribed, PLEASE, write to us at and ask to be removed, or for help with managing your account. Also, there are tips available on AEGiS that tell you how to manage your account, please see: http://www.aegis.org/todaysnews/e-mail.html

If you are receiving your news via e-mail, we strongly recommend that you switch to RSS to insure continued reception of the news. For information about how to sign up for AEGiS news via RSS, go to: http://www.aegis.org/todaysnews/rss.asp

And, the good news is...
