Features

SAfAIDS, Southern Africa's regional information and advocacy service, is calling for papers or articles for its newsletter.

Areas of interest are:

• HIV/AIDS and the workplace
• Stigma and discrimination
• Access to treatment and care

However, papers are not restricted to the topics mentioned above. In the selection of articles, SAfAIDS will place an emphasis on gender, human rights and development as crosscutting issues.

The four main categories of articles are:

• HIV/AIDS-related issues and policy
• Current and ongoing research
• Project activities that explore programme information on critical lessons learnt
• Best practices that examine interventions that have worked elsewhere and can be replicated

Important -
Articles should include good photographs and be limited to a maximum of 2,000 words. Scientific language should be avoided for the benefit of the general readership. Contributions must be in English and/or Portuguese.

The next deadline will be 25 May 2005. Please inform us if the articles have been submitted or published elsewhere.
