HEARD - Health Economics & AIDS Research Division - University of Natal, Durban, South Africa.  As part of the current USAID project "Operationalising HIV/AIDS Issues For Development", which commenced early in 1998, HEARD identified a need for a much wider, expanded and more detailed series of documents. These were to encompass more aspects of AIDS interventions and preventions and would be targeted at specific groups. There are twenty-eight AIDS briefs in all, each written by an expert in the field, which offer sector-specific guide-lines and responses for those involved in various professional, commercial and industrial endeavours. Check-lists are a standard feature, enabling operatives to plot their progress against requirements unique to their sphere of activity, and suggesting innovative approaches.
