For information about new ACT UP affiliates, contact the ACT UP Network, 414/483-0376. To obtain information regarding new PWA coalitions, contact the National Association of People Living With AIDS (NAPWA), 202/898-0414.

The classifications are:

"B" -- buyers' clubs for alternative or experimental treatments;
"C" -- coalitions and community networks organized by and for people living with AIDS.
