Information generated on HIV/AIDS - reports, studies, surveys - by NGOs,
government departments and international organisations often doesn't reach
the media, or indeed, even other organisations working on the same issues.
We hope this section will be a one-stop resource centre for new findings on
HIV/AIDS and Gender-related issues.
You will find here abstracts of recent documents from India. For more
details, please click on our email ID at the end of each abstract.
Information on campaigns and organisations working on HIV/AIDS is also
listed. If you would like to share information
with us, we would welcome
hearing from you. And we'd love to get feedback
from users of this site.

TO READ SUMMARIES OF THE REST OF THIS WEEK'S FEATURES
Read these features to get an idea
of what Women's Feature Service articles are like. WFS features don't merely report news: They examine the context - why and how events take place;
the people, their social milieu and the developments that affect them.
WFS holds up a magnifying glass to focus on small but significant symptoms of social change.
Whether it is going behind the news or providing a micro-level understanding or
standing back and taking a wide-angle view, WFS features give a
fresh perspective to readers.
