AIDS and You - 2003/2004/2005 editions in many languages - by Dr Patrick Dixon. Shorter version packed with useful information, ideal for those for whom English is not first language, or who are looking for a practical, down-to-earth resource.

New editions of The Truth about AIDS and AIDS and You

Operation Mobilisation and ACET International Alliance have published new editions of Dr Patrick Dixon's The Truth about AIDS and AIDS and You, both of which have inspired many churches to start their own HIV programmes.  The text of both is also available free online. This is an exciting development, drawing on OM's huge publishing expertise.  Their Hyderabad warehouse alone ships out several tons of books every day.

Over 180,000 copies of AIDS and You have already been distributed by many different organisations to those who need them in the poorest nations, with editions in English, Russian, Spanish and French, and others in preparation - including Hindi and Urdu. A further 30,000 copies are being printed - all of which will like the rest be given away. We are able to do this because of generous sponsorship and by printing them in India where the costs are as low as three books for a dollar.

The new version of The Truth about AIDS contains key resource manuals by Tear Fund, VIVA Network, Emmanuel Hospitals Association and Africa Inland Mission, in addition to a completely revised and updated text of the original book which led to ACET's creation in 1988. The different resources if published separately would cost more than $20 to print, but combined into a single publication the package only costs $1-50 - met by sponsors enabling us to supply copies anywhere in the world, in bulk, at no charge.

Over 60,000 copies have been distributed so far. AIDS and You is available in English, Russian, Spanish - with French, Urdu, Hindi, Baite, Swahili, Hausa (NIgeria), Luganda (Uganda) and other languages in the process of being published.
