Blood and Tears in Mexico City

Protesters at AIDS2008 in Mexico CityCommunity members and volunteers are invited to our August Volunteer Meeting and Orientation Evening.

Andrew Burry will be fresh from the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City, and will be sharing his personal experiences and impressions.

Media this year has been dominated by impassioned debate on what the risk of HIV infection is, allegations towards international AIDS organisations of fraud and misleading the world about the AIDS pandemic, and the ongoing discrepancies between epidemics in poor and wealthy countries.

Meet our new and current volunteers, find out about developments at the AIDS Action Council, our volunteer needs, and plans for volunteer events.
