Big Bend Cares Library
The Big Bend Cares News Library provides links to news releases, scientific studies, and select articles of interest from the news media. Articles and studies are presented for informational and research purposes only, and inclusion of information on bigbendcares.org's News page does not imply endorsement by Big Bend Cares.
Our goal with this compendium of news articles is to promote research, educate the general public about HIV/AIDS research, medical advancements, modes of transmission, and other information relevant to helping prevent the spread of HIV and, for those impacted, coping with the disease. In our effort to create a lasting history of information, and because articles published on the Web are transitory, we recreate articles and host them on our server. In all cases, articles are credited to the source. Big Bend Cares does not make a profit from the re-dissemination of these articles, and believes that this approach constitutes fair use; however, if you own the copyright to any article contained in our archive and wish to have it removed, please e-mail
