October 21. CANDLELIGHT VIGIL This is the third candlelight vigil organized by ACT-B Each event has been a quiet, moving tribute to those who have left us because of AIDS. Each event has also been a quiet appreciation for the courage of those who continue to live and work with the disease. HEALTHY SEX CABARET Our Healthy Sex Cabaret pushes courage and humour onto the stage. This event is bawdy, coarse, sensitive and healthy It is AIDS Education that is celebratory - life beyond leaflets Expect the unexpected and be warned that there will be strong language and adult situations. CELEBRATION OF LIFE Each of these two events have a couple of things in common. Both will use music to help set and enrich the atmosphere Both are motivated by a sense of celebration for life. Both, if successful, are vehicles for emotional release: tears and laughter. We invite you to join in with us this year. Exercise your courage and humour. There is a whole crowd of people who welcome you to share your grief and your laughter You are not alone. �Tidbits...

For asyptomatic individuals, the recommended daily dose is 500 mg ■ All doses are subject to the judgement of the treating physician Many ill persons cannot tolerate the full 1200 mg daily dose. ■ AZT is availabale now through their physician to anyone who meet these criteria WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? In simple language, it means that AZT. even at low doses, can slow the progression of HIV infection in people with moderately low helper cells who have few or no symptoms It can also be less toxic the earlier it is initiated �This approach to treatment with AZT is one element in a broader picture that suggests that people infected with AIDS virus can benefit from early treatment is THIS NEW? Some media reported on the AZT revised guidelines as though the revolution had happened AZT was even referred to as a "new AIDS drug" The fact is. AZT has been available for treatment in Canady under certain restrictions, since 1986 Eurther, the idea of early intervention in HIV infection is. as Denny Smith writes in Issue Number 86 of AIDS Treatment News." nearly as old as the epidemic, championed by many long term survivors with HIV. by many progressive physicians, and by persistant activism of Project Inform and ACT UP" [US. AIDS activist organizations] He goes on to write "The medical establishment has historically promoted early detection and treatment in other diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension But for years preceding these recent announcements people with HIV were dismissed with false pessimism in the media and inappropriate Eederal regulations, and told to wait" That history in the United States is a mirror of the Canadian response to early intervention MORE TO COME ... In an upcoming article, we will report other reasons for early intervention - including promising new treatment possibilities �How to Love Yourself Stop all criticism thing Criticism never changes a Refuse to criticize yourself exactly as you are Accept yourself Everybody changes.

However, people are still at risk of infection and death. It is more important than ever to educate those who are at risk, and to prevent the spread of the disease We are gradually seeing more and more people who have been infected, becoming sick and in need of support. A DEAR FRIEND As I write this, a dear friend lies in hospital, close to death from complications due to AIDS. Helping someone move through the final debilitating stages of the disease brings home in sharp detail, the personal and human tragedy of AIDS All who are involved get caught up in the process, with immense emotional and physical demands placed on everyone. REMEMBER AIDS Awareness Week is a time for us to remember and honour those who have succumbed to the disease - to ensure that their suffering and deaths will not have been in vain The lessons we learn from those living with AIDS can give us the courage and compassion to live our lives fully, here and �THANK YOU THE AIDS COMMITTEE OF THUNDER BAY would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who sponsored our picnic to ensure its success. Also we would like to extend our thanks to the many volunteers who helped before, dur­ ing and after. A&A RECORDS & TAPES NORTHERN BREWERIES LTD.
