Hello friends -

I wanted to share an opportunity and ask for your help.  I’ve been collaborating with physicians and researchers at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and Johns Hopkins to develop an Internet quit smoking program specifically for HIV+ smokers. Did you know that more than 50% of people who are HIV+ smoke cigarettes?  That’s double the national average!  Many HIV+ smokers will die from their tobacco use rather than HIV/AIDS.  Our team is hoping to change this fact.

Building on many years of research, we’ve created an Internet program to address the unique needs of HIV+ smokers.  In addition to content and exercises specific to quitting among people with HIV/AIDS, the website includes an online community... which is where you come in.  We’re starting the community from scratch, which means we need people to welcome and encourage newcomers, share their experience and wisdom, and generally help get conversations and discussions rolling.

A few important things: 1) you don’t have to be HIV+ to participate, 2) you don’t have to disclose your HIV status (positive or negative) to anyone, and 3) you can be anywhere in your quit.

I know many of you are passionate about “paying it forward” here on EX and am hoping you might be able to help us with this important project.

If you’re interested in learning more, please fill out this short form and we’ll get in touch.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
