On December 31, 2004, AEGiS replaced its aging list server with WebBoard7, in order to disseminate our Daily HIV/AIDS Update via E-mail, NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol), and RSS (Real Simple Syndication). All three are accessed through the AEGiS Support Forums, which use WebBoard7 for delivery. NNTP and RSS require specific clients, which must be installed on your computer. Clients are available for Windows, MAC, and Linux computers.
With WebBoard’s mailing list capability, registered users can receive the Daily HIV/AIDS Update in non-digest, digest, or digest-zipped format. After subscribing to the Daily HIV/AIDS Update mailing list, you will receive all messages posted to the WebBoard forum via email in the format selected. This page will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to register and receive the Daily HIV/AIDS Update via E-mail. For information on RSS, click here.
