- The fear of AIDS and its consequences must rank as number 1 as the
- greatest medical anxiety in our population in this decade. Almost all the
- experts agree, that for as long as their is no specific and effective cure,
- our main line of defense must remain an educated public. And since I feel
- that I share the responsibility of keeping all of you informed of the latest
- developments in the field of medicine, I want to make you aware of a most
- important telephone number that may help you in your search for reliable
- material about AIDS. I believe that such a number provides certain advantages
- to those who are reluctant to express their fears about the disease to their
- physicians, or to friends. You may now obtain the information you need from
- the National AIDS Information Clearinghouse, telephone number 1 (800)
- 458-5231. The Clearinghouse distributes a number of publications on AIDS,
- including the Surgeon General's report and American Red Cross publications.
- Callers may receive referrals to local telephone numbers for specific
- information about AIDS and sources for treatment. The Clearinghouse is a
- service of the U.S. Public Health Service and operates from 9 a.m.--7 p.m.
- eastern time during weekdays.
