 AB    OBJECTIVE: To uncover and describe the challenges of implementing Health
       Promotion in community HIV/AIDS organizations and programs. METHODS: A
       participatory, community-based study, this inquiry is informed by
       interpretive sociology, making use of verbatim, subjective material and
       qualitative analysis to advance health promotion research. Subjects of
       the study were all working members of the staff and board of this AIDS
       service organization, selected especially for their ability to
       articulate the work experience. Their texts were collected on audio tape
       through depth interviewing and interpreted using grounded theory
       techniques. RESULTS: The analysis itemizes an agenda to promote the
       health of AIDS affected communities, identifying partners and addressing
       opportunities which would enable the transformation of organizational
       practices, professional care and social policy. DISCUSSION: At a time of
       profound self-questioning in community-based HIV/AIDS work. the search
       for new thinking, practices and organizational strategy has never been
       more intense. Failing to address the way in which socio-environmental
       health issues such as powerlessness, anger and despair affect HIV/AIDS
       work, would be to miss crucial educational needs and opportunities
       affecting prevention, support and care. The Vancouver
       research--sponsored by Health Canada--describes how front-line workers
       are adapting to these realities, toward the development of a national
       health promotion education program for everyone working with community
       AIDS organizations.
