AIDS Treatment News Next Issue July 1; Other Announcements

Due to our trip to Stockholm for the June 12-16 AIDS conference, AIDS Treatment News will not publish a June 17
issue. Instead, issue #59 will be published on July 1. All subscriptions will be extended so everyone will receive the
expected number of issues.
The Stockholm conference is the most important one of the year. For daily coverage, check major newspapers such as The New York Times, wire service reports in other newspapers, and the TV news. We cannot compete with these media for daily coverage; instead AIDS Treatment News will report in depth during the next several weeks on important Conference news relevant to treatments.
Back issues available. The long-awaited back issues one through 50, reprinted with an extensive index, have now been mailed to most of the subscribers and others who ordered them. If you ordered back issues before May and have not received them yet, call Denny Smith at AIDS Treatment News, (415) 255-0588.
Price, subscription changes July 1. On July 1 we will slightly lower subscription prices for persons with AIDS or ARC, while raising the regular rate for back issues. We will also discontinue the three-month subscription, replacing it with a six-month minimum in order to reduce our billing costs. (We will still send out a free sample issue on request; and
each new subscriber will get five free back issues, as now.)
After July 1, the new rates will be:
* Regular rate, $100 per year (same as now), $55. per half year, $50. for back issues.
* Reduced rate for persons with AIDS or ARC, $30. per year (down from $32.), $16. per half year, back issues $12.
(unchanged).
We are losing money on the back issues at the reduced rate. Later this year we will probably prepare a volume of highlights of back issues, removing the material of only historical interest, to reduce printing and mailing costs and
keep the price low. Then we will continue to provide the complete set to libraries, professionals, collectors, etc., but at the regular rate. We will maintain the reduced rate until the highlights volume is available.
Anyone subscribing before July 1 can use the old rates (below).
