New Hampshire and Vermont Unite in Joint Health Ventures

HANOVER NH — Vermont and New Hampshire have joined
forces to produce an on-line information network of HIV/AIDS
organizations. With its home base on the server at Dartmouth Col-
lege, the site seeks to present up-to-date information on the various
resources available to people infected with or affected by the virus.

The site was made possible by a contract between the National
Library of Medicine to the Biomedical Libraries of Dartmouth and
the Adult and Pediatric HIV Programs of Dartmouth’s Hitchcock
Medical Center. Its address is http://www.dartmouth.edu/~hivnet/.

The site provides addresses and contact numbers for most of the
New Hampshire and Vermont AIDS service organizations. Where
possible, it also provides links to these agencies‘ own Web Sites or
offers an e-mail address. Its simple design makes it easy to navigate
from screen to screen.

While listings on the calendar page still include many more New
Hampshire events than Vermont happenings, the site has the poten-
tial to provide one central on-line location for a large ‘amount of
HIV/AIDS information. Links to other sites allow Net-surfers to
learn more about home HIV tests, the difference between confiden-
tial and anonymous HIV testing, and recent findings about the dis-
ease and its prevention. ’

One link on the site directs individuals to the Twin State Women’s

Network (TSWN), another example of the two states combining
available resources. TSWN seeks to create a safe environment which

allows women infected or affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives
to the fullest extent possible. The group addresses the needs of those
women, along with their children, partners, and families.

TSWN offers a weekly phone support group for HlV+ women
on Wednesday nights at 8:30. Interested women should contact Donna
McCullough at (802) 763-2950 or donnaerin@sover.net for more
information.

The group also provides “last resort” homemaker services for
women and families infected/affected by HIV/AIDS (this service
can pay for up to twelve weeks, four hours per week); a retreat for
HIV+ women on June l2-‘I5 at the Weston Priory in Weston, VT;
and another retreat for families which are infected/affected by HIV/
AIDS to be held in late summer.

TSWN also offers a variety of resources on safer sex for lesbi-
ans. “Contrary to the CDC, lesbians do have HIV, and they are very
much apart of the TSWN family,” said Margo Caulficld, one of the
on-line contacts for TSWN.

TSWN works with existing AIDS service organizations, health
care providers, the Vermont Health Department, and other women’s
groups. It is governed by a board of directors comprised of infected
and affected women, providers who work with women and children
with HIV, and women who have a special interest in this area.

For more information about TSWN, call Margo at (802) 226-
7807, Donna at (802) 763-2950, or Peggy at (603) 353-4554. V
