Abstract:

Founded in 1979 at the Chicago Conference on Current Aspects of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Symposium, NCGSTDS became the publisher of Sexual Health Reports, a newsletter that provided factual, up-to-date information to the medical, scientific, and gay/lesbian communities about sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, and other related health issues. Additionally, the organization aided communication between the nation's STD and AIDS service providers, and served as liaison between interested concerns such as the Centers for Disease Control, health organizations, pharmaceutical companies, publishers, and others. The collection includes copies of Sexual Health Reports (originally titled Official Newsletter of the NCGSTDS); correspondence of chair and editor Mark P. Behar including many requests for information; letters to the editor expressing support or hostility; and pamphlets and reports produced by NCGSTDS and others. NCGSTDS dissolved in 1988.
