Soft Launch of MyAIDSNexus Imminent

http://www.myaidsnexus.org

MyAIDSNexus aims to bring the flexibiltiy and power of social networking sites (like Facebook or LinkedIn) to the HIV & AIDS sector.  MyAIDSNexus provides free, open and anonymous access to most of the content it houses. 

MyAIDSNexus is the new site from AIDSPortal.  AIDSPortal is a global initiative that aims to facilitate greater knowledge sharing and networking among organisations involved in the response to HIV and AIDS.  We are managed by the UK Consortium on AIDS and International Development.

The  vision is a more efficient and effective response to HIV and AIDS.  We work through this vision through two strategies. 

• building the capacity of partner organisations that share our vision. These are typically networks operating at a national, regional or global level.  We currently have regional partnerships in Eastern and Southern Africa and Latin America. 

• maintaining an information hub and acting as an information facilitator in areas where we do not yet have partnerships.
