PWA Coalitions, ACT NOW chapters, and Buyers Clubs, Listed by State

As our subscribers know, AIDS Treatment News reports biweekly on new promising treatments and related public policy developments. While we don't have the funding to operate a hotline, we do get many phone and mail queries from people around the country asking for help finding appropriate treatment resources and social support in their communities.
In response, we have compiled the following list of PWA (people with ARC/AIDS/HIV) coalitions, alternative treatment buyer's clubs, and local chapters of ACT NOW, a national organization advocating non-violent direct action in the interest of PWA's.
To improve this listing, we welcome all corrections of outdated information, or additions of any new PWA coalition, buyer's club or ACT NOW affiliate. Be sure to include a phone number if possible. These lists are not complete, but include only those we could confirm by press time.
We have grouped organizations by state or country, distinguishing each with a letter code. "A" indicates ACT NOW, "B" is a buyer's club, and "C" is for coalitions for PWA's.
When visiting or calling a buyer's club, you may want to keep several questions in mind: What is their average price mark-up? Do they have any of their products tested periodically at a reputable lab for purity and contents? Can they fill mail-orders? Who are their board members, if they are non-profit, or their owners or other principals if not?
In order to make treatment information as accessible as possible, AIDS Treatment News will extend a free subscription to any PWA coalition or ACT NOW chapter on request.
If you have corrections or additions for this list, please call Denny Smith at 415/255-0588. ALABAMA
