Atlanta-based AIDS Survival Project has announced the creation of the Positive Action Network, a new Georgia-wide advocacy training group focused on HIV/AIDS. The program's goal is to give advocates the tools to provide information and perspectives to councils, policy-making bodies and health departments on the uniqueness of the HIV and STD epidemics in the South. "We hope to train and activate a new generation of advocates on these issues using their own expertise in areas of importance related to HIV, AIDS and the community as a whole," said ASP Executive Director Jeff Graham. Though the deadline has passed, applications for the program will continue to be accepted through mid-week. For more information, telephone 404-874-7926 ext. 24, or visit www.aidssurvivalproject.org.
