MONTREAL CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS NOW AVAILABLE

Project Inform will copy and mail the published abstracts of thousands of submissions to the V International Conference on AIDS in Montreal. The abstracts can be dense reading for non-medical people, but are usefully organized into sections discussing epidemiology and public health, clinical aspects, basic research, AIDS and the individual, AIDS, society and behavior, ethics and law, international issues, and the economic impact of AIDS. These abstracts do not include most of the oral sessions, however, where some of the most important work was presented; video or audio tapes of most of these conference sessions are available through other services.

For a copy of the abstracts only -- over 1,200 pages of fine print -- send $100 U.S., or $125 Canadian, to: Project Inform, 347 Dolores Street, Suite 301, San Francisco, CA 94110.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS reports on experimental and complementary treatments, especially those available now. It collects information from medical journals, and from interviews with scientists physicians, and other health practitioners, and persons with AIDS or ARC.

Long-term survivors have usually tried many different treatments, and found combinations which work for them. AIDS TREATMENT NEWS does not recommend particular therapies, but seeks to increase the options available.

We also examine the ethical and public-policy issues around AIDS treatment research.
