Social networking website for HIV, AIDS affected

The new social networking site -AIDSspace.org- launched by UNAIDS aims to benefit 33.4 million people living with HIV and AIDS.

"It will help the global HIV and AIDS community to socialise, chat, exchange ideas, post and share HIV-related content including key policies, case studies, multimedia materials, conference, posters, reports and other essential resources," he said.

"AIDSspace.org is wholly dedicated to the global AIDS community. If hundreds of millions of people can socialise on some of the most popular social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Orkut and Netlog then why not people who are living with HIV and AIDS," an official with UNAIDS said.

Users of this website can also find and post jobs and reviews on service providers here.

Some of the contents in the website include a directory- to help connect with people and organizations working on HIV, library - to share documents and resources and discover what's new, marketplace- to access jobs, discussions, events, and many more.
