Summary: Virus Group Asks For $500,000 (Press, 18 December 1986)
On 18 December 1986, the Aids Foundation in Auckland made a request to the New Zealand Government for a funding boost of $500,000. The foundation believes that this financial support is crucial for a campaign aimed at containing the spread of AIDS within the country. The foundation has identified intravenous drug use and bisexual activity as key areas for prevention education. They pointed out that a significant percentage of individuals with positive antibodies for the disease are "closeted" homosexual and bisexual men, presenting unique challenges for effective education and prevention initiatives. The foundation emphasises the importance of targeting these groups in their campaign efforts to effectively mitigate the spread of AIDS in New Zealand.
