In 1983 the first cases of AIDS were reported on the Balearic Islands.
Shortly after, ALAS, the Balearic Association Against AIDS, was born.
Since then, ALAS has become a specific resource for VIH/AIDS related
issues on the Balearic Islands and currently they have two offices: one
on Mallorca and another one on Eivissa. Moreover, now they have a new space
of action,
their web page, where
they offer vast information about the organisation and the programs they
carry out, a guide to secure sex, treatments and social aspects of AIDS.
The web portal also includes several interactive sections, such as a
forum and a poll, a photographic gallery, links and others.
These days, the news you can find on the front page is the preventive
campaign
"Fes Conding"
(use condoms) aimed at the young people from the Balearics.
