June 5, 2006, marks twenty-five years since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first warning about an emerging illness that soon became known as AIDS. In recognition of this day, the Kaiser Family Foundation is releasing several new and updated resources:

 Evolution of an Epidemic: 25 Years of HIV/AIDS Media Campaigns in the U.S.

 AIDS at 25: An Overview of Major Trends in the U.S. Epidemic

 The Global HIV/AIDS Timeline is an interactive, up-to-date web-based timeline of key HIV-related events and noteworthy activities from 1981 through today.

 Webcasts on AIDS at 25 from kaisernetwork.org.

 The Survey of Americans on HIV/AIDS released May 2006 finds that Americans increasingly believe the U.S. should be a global leader on HIV/AIDS, including spending more money to fight the epidemic abroad and at home.

 Fact Sheets on HIV/AIDS

Kaiser has multiple public education partnerships including KNOW HIV/AIDS with CBS Corporation and Viacom, think with MTV and Rap-It-Up with BET.

 GlobalHealthReporting.org provides the most current news headlines and resources for journalists and others in global health and its facts-at-a-glance, overview of the HIV/AIDS global epidemic, and country profile pages have been updated to reflect the most current data from UNAIDS.
