AIDS Resources Contact

“One of these groups was the AIDS Resources Contact (ARC), which was set up using a grant received from the National Advisory Committee on AIDS (NACAIDS). The funds were used to employ a part-time coordinator, Sheril Berkovitch, who helped members of the group establish a newsletter for PLWHAs, run social gatherings, and publish an information booklet to be provided to people upon first finding out that they had been infected. The ARC also conducted a survey of 100 HIV positive people to ask what self-support initiatives they would like to see established – the first survey of its kind in Australia” - From “Under the red ribbon: 30 years of VAC”
