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 When asked to enter a database name, specify "UNPB" (which stands for unpublished materials) to search all materials, regardless of availability; "CNPB" (which stands for current materials) to search only materials currently available from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. Over the weekend, 13 newly catalogued materials were loaded to the UNPB Educational Materials Database. This brings the total number of materials on the Database to 17,654. Document 1 AN AD0020194.

AB This report reviews community-based HIV-prevention programs funded by the U.S. Conference of Mayors by way of profiling three programs targeting gay/bisexual men of color. The programs were initiated to reduce the risk behaviors associated with HIV among African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American gay/bisexual men. The three highlighted programs rely on strategies such as the use of peer educators and the development of targeted, culturally and linguistically appropriate material. Other strategies include the utilization of social networks and community building in specific populations that may not have the expertise or resources to respond to the threat of HIV. The Fundacion SIDA de Puerto Rico, San Juan provides HIV prevention, risk-reduction information, and support to gay and bisexual Latino men living outside the San Juan metropolitan area. Gay Men of African Descent is working to reduce HIV transmission among gay/bisexual men of African Descent in the New York City area. The People of Color Against AIDS Network (POCAAN) is working to impede the spread of HIV/AIDS among gay/bisexual men of color in King County, Washington through education and prevention activities, the development of support networks, and the creation of formal linkages with other service providers.
