Greening. Permission granted for Note: non-commercial reproduction. Archive-number: 2296 I am doing research on the effects of Buddy Programs on persons with HIV/AIDS---if having a Buddy has any effect on the HIV progression, on the PWA's quality of life, general disposition, etc. I have found only one article that mentions a Buddy Program; does anyone know of any research that has been done on Buddies, or more generally, any type of social support and HIV/AIDS? Thank you!! Kelly C.M-H. Keany iulh100@indyvax.iupui 7372 Creekbrook Dr. Indianapolis, IN 46227 (317) 783-3252
