HIV. AIDS. There are few words more terrifying to hear than “You are HIV-positive.” If you or someone you love has just been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS, the first thing you probably want are answers. When does treatment start? Will there be side effects? How will this affect my lifespan and my life?

The AIDS Beacon is meant to answer these questions. Our goal at Light Knowledge Resources is to bring you and your family as much information as possible – up-to-date research on drug treatments, links and resources, news, events, in-depth articles on scientific breakthroughs, and more. We know you want information; we are here to bring it to you.

The site has been designed to be complete, simple to navigate, and easy to understand. It is still a work in progress, so if you have any helpful input or feedback, please let us know by leaving a comment or sending us an email. Over the next few months, we will be expanding the site, adding more resources, and trying to make it as useful as possible to you, our readers.

Our plan is to be the most comprehensive site on AIDS and HIV infection, so you can come to one place and find everything you need. We will be bringing you news on policy, clinical trials, treatments, and scientific research every day. In addition, you can explore our site for more information about the disease, specialists who treat it, and topics like whether or not you should keep your cat.

Whatever your questions are, we want to answer them.

We want to be the beacon our name implies – a beacon of hope, and a beacon of knowledge.

Welcome to the AIDS Beacon.
