Communities organise

Community-based voluntary organisations are set up across a number of cities most affected by AIDS in the USA. They include Kaposi’s Sarcoma Research & Education Foundations (later San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF)), AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) and the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) in New York. These community-based organisations develop the local response to AIDS – from educating the community about transmission and printing leaflets to setting up help lines and, later, advocating for better responses and treatment.
