_Introduction

       First identified in 1981, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has become a tragic fact of life in America. The people of New Jersey have been hit especially hard. Our state consistently ranks fourth or fifth in the nation in the number of AIDS cases reported to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the rate of AIDS cases among New Jersey women is more than twice the national average.
        By March 31, 1999, some 38,082 people in New Jersey had been diagnosed with AIDS.* Countless more have been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but have not developed AIDS. AIDS has been identified in every county in our state - striking men and women, adults and children, gays and heterosexuals, whites and people of color, those who use drugs and those who do not. It is a devastating problem for all New Jersey citizens.
        AIDS Answers has been designed to help librarians in New Jersey answer their users' questions about AIDS and HIV infection. Additions, questions, and comments are welcome. Contact the New Jersey Library Association (609-394-8032) or the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey (888-4HSLANJ) for further information.

About the NJLA/HSLANJ AIDS Task Force

        The New Jersey Library Association AIDS Task Force was founded in 1990 when a small but dedicated group of New Jersey librarians met to discuss ways to help our libraries respond to the challenge of HIV/AIDS in our state. Shortly thereafter, we were joined by a group of members of the Health Sciences Library Association of New Jersey (HSLANJ), forming the NJLA/HSLANJ AIDS Task Force. This represented the first time these two important associations collaborated to address an information issue crucial to the citizens of our state. Members of the Task Force include library workers from public, academic, special, and health sciences libraries throughout New Jersey.
        The purpose of the Task Force is to identify the needs of the people of New Jersey for information about HIV/AIDS infection and to develop resources designed to help New Jersey libraries meet those needs. We encourage your ideas and participation.

                                                                                       top of page
