For the first time on the ICW website we are pleased to feature video interviews with three extraordinary ICW members. In separate video clips they discuss living with HIV and the amazing work they have pioneered to promote the rights of HIV positive women and men in their regions. Each video clip can be viewed at http://www.icw.org/threeinterviews. Please note they may take sometime to download.

If you have an IT support query there are several steps that going through would hugely help both parties if followed before contacting the ICW office.

1. Are you sure the problem is permanent? Quite often problems appear that only need a reboot to solve them. Please make sure you have rebooted your PC before contacting us.
2. If it is a password problem, make sure you are typing it in correctly and haven't changed it recently.
3. If you have no Internet access or the problem is that you have no Internet, there is unfortunately very little we can do remotely and you will be best served looking at local avenues for support.
4. If you have a problem accessing the ICW email from an Internet Cafe, please check the relevant article here.

If you do need to contact support after checking these points, it's preferable to contact RunPCRun directly, rather than contacting the ICW office and passing information on.

ICW is the only international network by and for HIV+ women. It was founded in response to the desperate lack of support and information available to many of us world-wide. Our aim is to improve the situation of women living with HIV through self-empowerment and the exchange of information.

Press release -ICW, a co-sponsor of AIDS2006, is set to challenge myths and statistics about HIV positive women around the world and will deliver a Key Challenge to the conference every day.

With over 4000 members around the world – in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, Russia and Eastern Europe, Europe and North America - ICW is the only global organisation of women living with HIV, run by positive women for positive women.

Press release - There is a growing and alarming trend by health service providers around the world to routinely test for HIV unless people say no. At the 16th International AIDS Conference in Toronto policy-makers will be talking about opt-out and opt-in testing. Some countries are calling for a dramatic increase in opt-out testing. This means if a person does not expressly say no (opt-out), they can be tested for HIV. ICW is critical of opt-out testing.
