In what is being termed the second stage of the AIDS movement, activists have literally taken the seat of power next to scientists and manufacturers to determine the future of AIDS treatments. This historic step occurred recently in Washington, D.C., when some 100 activists from around the country participated in previously closed meetings of the AIDS Clinical Thai Group, the government's system that develops and tests promising anti- viral and other agents against the human immunodeficiency virus and AIDS-related infections. The meeting heralds a significant breakthrough in the move toward patient empowerment that parallels the drive for national health care in the United States.
