POZ Magazine: POZ was founded primarily to get information to HIV positive persons for whom it could extend or improve the quality of their lives. They also want to create a common media context between fulltime treatment activists -- the extraordinarily empowered patient -- and those impacted by HIV who are not going to read the technical newsletters and attend meetings. Finally, POZ challenges popular stereotypes about what it means to face a life-threatening illness.
