This web site was the idea of
Bradley Engelmann.
It is dedicated to his life and work, and to all those who
fought so hard and so long
for an autonomous and inclusive voice for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The site has been established and will be maintained by individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their friends, in response to the need for accessible information and a means of communication between people with HIV/AIDS. We are unfunded and unable to provide hard copy, but hope you will feel free to copy appropriate parts of it for positive people who may not have ready access to the site. Please refer to the Disclaimer.
