NAC ONLINE users can search these databases by selecting "Clearinghouse Databases" from the NAC ONLINE main menu. When asked to enter a database name, specify "UNPB" (which stands for unpublished materials) to search all materials, regardless of availability; "CNPB" (which stands for current materials) to search only materials currently available from the distributor; or "ANPB" (which stands for archival materials) to search only materials which are no longer available. To access the NAC ONLINE BBS, set your communications software to dial (800) 851-7245, and set the options for 8 data bits, N parity, 1 stopbit, full duplex, and complete a new user questionnaire. Only non-profit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and health departments are given full access to NAC ONLINE and the NAC databases.

The focus is on available tools that can be used to locate the most up-to-date information on HIV/AIDS. Resources are organized by format and include print material, audiovisual material, human resources, and computerized, or electronic resources. One section is devoted to the use of National Library of Medicine (NLM) databases, Grateful Med, the CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse Online, and commercial databases. Seven appendixes are included.

AB This tape condenses 111 segments of an intimate video diary of a physician who was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1986. The video became a television series that aired weekly in Canada. During each segment Dr. Peter Jepson-Young discusses a different topic, including his childhood, the impact that the diagnoses had on his life and lifestyle, his progressive blindness and training with a guide dog, his hospitalizations, and his relationship with his family. The video also touches on Dr. Jepson-Young's spirituality and feelings about death and dying, coping with his Kaposi's sarcoma and the often devastating effects of his chemotherapy. Dr. Jepson-Young's health deteriorates throughout the segments, from his complete loss of sight; the rapidly-growing lesions on his hand, in his throat, and eventually in his lungs; to his eventual dependency on a wheelchair. The video continues through Dr. Jepson-Young's death and funeral service. MJ Symptoms. Visual impairment. Quality of life. Families. Family participation in treatment. Media. Spirituality.

AV Health Force: Women and Men Against AIDS Muslim Health Project 509 Willis Ave. Bronx, NY 10454. (718) 585-8585. AB This booklet provides an overview of the Islamic viewpoint on sexual relations. Islam clearly mandates that sexual relations may not occur out of the context of marriage; premarital and extramarital relations are condemned. It is noted that by following these tenets, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases will be drastically reduced. The booklet calls for the development of HIV/AIDS prevention and educational material and resources that are culturally relevant to the Islamic population, the fastest growing religious group in the United States, especially in prisons. Readers are also advised to consult with medical professionals for HIV testing prior to marriage. MJ Cultural factors. Religion. Sexual behavior. Sexual abstinence. HIV/AIDS education needs.
