***** European Jewish Ancestry: Activist Doctor Needs Stem
Cell Donation

by John S. James

Alan Berkman, M.D. -- a key founder of the movement to make
AIDS treatment and other expensive drugs available in
Africa and other developing countries -- has Hodgkin's
lymphoma and needs a genetically matched stem cell
transplant within the next few weeks. So far no match has
been found. The most likely donor will be someone of
Eastern European Jewish ancestry.

"My folk came from Eastern Poland and Russia," says Dr.
Berkman. "Until World War II you probably could have found
dozens of people with my general genetic makeup. But a lot
of those genes died in the camps. Now we can only hope that
there are people out there, the children and grandchildren
of survivors, or from families that emigrated a long time
ago, who'll come forward."

Anyone at any risk of exposure to HIV -- even anyone who has
had gay male sex once since 1977 -- is banned from donating
blood under Federal rules. But you can help if you have
contacts with organizations or other groups who have many
members of Jewish or Eastern European ancestry.
Participating in this effort can help everyone in that
group, not only Dr. Berkman, by increasing the number of
persons with that genetic makeup who have been tested and
entered in the national registry, making it more likely to
find a match for future patients. Currently there are very
few persons of Jewish or Eastern European background in the
registry, making it unlikely that a match can be found when
needed.

You can be tested for your genetic type (called HLA type)
by a simple blood test, which your doctor can order. You
can be listed in the registry if you are medically eligible
to donate blood under Federal rules. Then in the unlikely
event that a patient needs your stem cells for a bone-
marrow transplant (which is likely to be lifesaving for him
or her), you could donate bone-marrow cells, a procedure
which is safe but more invasive than donating blood. "You
get the chance to possibly save the life of a relative you
never even knew you had" (quote from a spokesperson for the
HLA Registry Foundation -- see Web site below).

In many areas you can save money by getting the test
through medical organizations instead of a private
physician; for example, in New York City call 800-NY-BLOOD
for a test which costs $40 -- you can be in and out in half
an hour. In Pennsylvania the test is available through the
Pennsylvania Red Cross for $30. Certain racial and ethnic
groups can be tested free under U.S. government programs.
Anywhere in the U.S., to find a center near you, call the
National Marrow Donor Program, 800-526-7809.

For More Information

Background on HLA tissue typing and the bone-marrow
registry can be found at:
http://www.marrow.org (the National Marrow Donor Program),
or at

Inc.)

If you may be able to help in this effort to save the life
of Dr. Alan Berkman, contact John S. James at AIDS

***** Help Wanted: Executive Director, Washington D.C.

This week we received a job description and the following
summary from the Forum for Collaborative HIV Research:

"The Forum for Collaborative HIV Research, a project of the
Center for Health Services Research and Policy at the
George Washington University School of Public Health and
Health Services ("the Center"), is seeking an Executive
Director. The Director is an employee of the University,
hired at the level of Senior Staff Research Scientist and
can seek Faculty Appointment at the University. The
Director reports to the Forum's Executive Committee and the
Director of the Center.

"The mission of the Forum is to facilitate discussion on
emerging issues in HIV clinical research and the
translation of research results into care. The Forum is
governed by an Executive Committee that sets the Forum's
agenda and priorities. The Forum is a coalition of
constituencies engaged in and affected by HIV research and
drug development, including government agencies,
pharmaceutical companies, clinical researchers, health care
providers and patient advocates. The Forum helps to
identify gaps and impediments in optimizing the medical
management of HIV disease, develops recommendations to fill
those gaps, and then catalyzes constituents to implement
those recommendations. The Forum was founded in 1997.

"The Director will oversee all Forum projects and
administration, supervise Forum staff, be responsible for
fund-raising and financial oversight, facilitate the
Executive Committee, and oversee all Forum communications
and publications. The Director will, with the assistance of
Forum staff and the Executive Committee, develop plans for
project implementation, develop budgets, facilitate project
planning committees, represent the Forum at meetings and
conferences, speak about the Forum to its constituents, and
report on Forum activities to the Center and the Executive
Committee.

"Qualifications: The Forum Director should have extensive
experience in a scientific, health care, health services or
health care policy field related to HIV/AIDS. The Director
should have substantial knowledge about HIV/AIDS research
and drug development. The Director should also have
significant administrative and managerial experience in a
government, other non-profit or private entity setting that
would demonstrate ability to manage an office staff,
finances and organizational activities. The Director should
possess a post-graduate degree, or have other substantially
equivalent training that is relevant to HIV/AIDS.

"A cover letter stating interest and required salary along
with a resume should be submitted by January 15, 2001 to:
Bernadette Sharpsperson, 2021 K. St. NW STE 800,
Washington, D.C. 20006, 202-530-2334, 202-296-0025 FAX,
ihoseb@..."

For more information, contact Paul Oh at the phone, fax, or
email above.


***** Medicine Recycling: List of Donation Centers
Published December 2000

We are often asked where unused antiretrovirals and other
medications used in AIDS treatment can be donated for
shipment to clinics in developing countries, for patients
who otherwise would have no access to them. The December
issue of POZ magazine (page 60) published a list of 12
organizations in the U.S. which can receive these
medications for donation. The December 2000 issue will be
online at http://www.poz.com (you may need to click on the
current issue, and from there find the back issues).


***** Buyers' Club List, December 2000

by Tadd Tobias

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS publishes a buyers' club list each
December. For a short overview and introduction to the
meaning, history, and services of these organizations, see
our listing in AIDS TREATMENT NEWS #309, December 18, 1998.

This year we focused on buyers' clubs specializing in HIV
(we also included Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco, because
of its extensive selection of supplements and excellent
information about them). All the organizations listed below
are nonprofit. Most can provide products by mail order.
Most have fact sheets or other information, and some have a
nutritionist or other expert available at certain times to
answer questions. Some offer financial assistance with
purchases if necessary. Most are open to the public, but
some require membership (which may require an annual fee,
or be restricted geographically or in other ways). Call
ahead for open hours and other information.

We have not listed medical marijuana buyers' clubs here.
The best way to find out about any in your area is by
referral from a local AIDS service organization, support
group, or healthcare professional.

Statement of Purpose:
AIDS TREATMENT NEWS reports on experimental and standard
treatments, especially those available now. We interview
physicians, scientists, other health professionals, and
persons with AIDS or HIV; we also collect information from
meetings and conferences, medical journals, and computer
databases. Long-term survivors have usually tried many
different treatments, and found combinations that work for
them. AIDS TREATMENT NEWS does not recommend particular
therapies, but seeks to increase the options available.

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS is published 24 times per year, on the
first and third Friday of every month, and print copies are
sent by first class mail. Email is available (see below).
Back issues are available at http://www.aidsnews.org
