Description
An account of the resource
Cork AIDS Alliance was founded on 29 July, 1987. Representatives from Cork STD Clinic, Gay Health Action, Alcohol and Drug Treatment Unit, the Haemophilia Group and the Bishops's Task Force on AIDS were in attendance at the first inaugural meeting. Shortly after the group was launched they organised an Information Day on AIDS in Cork City, raised funds to rent and equip an office, trained volunteers for a Cork Branch of Cairde (a befriending service for people affected by AIDS). CAA officially opened its office in mid-February, 1988. Cork AIDS Helpline started operation on 29 February, 1988, providing a telephone service for three days of the week. CAA's Outreach Group provided speakers and seminars to a wide variety of local organisations. Free sexual health and HIV/AIDS educational material was freely available from their office on 22 MacCurtain Street, Cork.
