Impact on HIV: Making a Difference
Volume 2, Number 2, December 2000

Family Health International's (FHI) latest issue of Impact on HIV, a
semiannual magazine about HIV/AIDS prevention and care, is now on-line.

This issue describes some of the remarkable people and effective programs
making a difference in the global response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The
people featured include two courageous men -- one who told two presidents
and the world of his family's struggle with HIV, and another who used his
extraordinary talents to educate others about the virus that was to end his
life at age 41. Programs highlighted include FHI's efforts in Cambodia,
where a strong national response is beginning to have an impact on the
HIV/AIDS epidemic, in Kenya, where the IMPACT program links intensive
prevention efforts with community-based care, and in Guyana, where IMPACT is
strengthening NGOs' HIV prevention projects with youth. Other articles
explore the World AIDS Day 2000 theme, "Men Make a Difference," and the
urgent need to integrate HIV and TB services.
