Stamps about AIDS

Hi,

I'm looking to get in touch with other collectors of stamps about AIDS
and HIV. I am attempting to compile a master list of all the AIDS/HIV
stamps in existence, and would very much like to talk to anyone into
the hobby. In exchange I'll be happy to provide you with a finished
copy of the list along with other tidbits and advice along the way. I'm
also looking to start a small online community of those of us into the
hobby.

If you collect stamps about AIDS/HIV, please drop me a message at
. And I hope to God I don't get spammed out of
existence because I posted my e-mail address on a newsgroup. : )

Thanks,

--Aaron

G'day Aaron,
the only two I have in my e-album are this one from Canada
http://cjoint.com/data/mplGUljRP5.htm

and one fro Romania (no scan available)
SG6054 (1999) T1301 2500 lei public health [] hiv aids .JPG

There is also a terribly graphic issue from a Central African Nation
IIRC, I am looking for it.

I am unaware of your terms of reference, I have somewhere a
Gay / Lesbian stamp club, that may assist in you search.

This is the one I searched for, (Slovenia not Central Africa)
I cannot read Slovene, so I am presuming.

Hi,
Through a Google search it seems that the only link giving any "result" is
Blair Henshaw's Philatelic Collection
http://www.sfu.ca/mediapr/sfu_news/a...s04280505.html

However, browsing through the site I found nothing specific about philately,
but you might try and contact the Simon Fraser University (Burnaby,
Vancouver) for further info.

My country (Denmark) has issued one stamp on HIV/AIDS, Scott B81.

What concerns spamming there are several online sources for good protection,
most of them free. I use the Danish source Spamfighter, which is
downloadable in a large number of languages, English included. Other sources
might be Mailwasher, AVG etc. Google is your friend for their URLs :-)

Good luck :-)

Rod, sorry to corect you, but this stamp has nothing to do with HIV/AIDS,
but is a commemorative issued for the 50th anniversary of the Concentration
Camps. Slovenia 1995, Scott 229 (SG 258), "Skeleton of Death Lying on
Bride".

That is indeed an excellent site. I only wish they had included all
the stamps in a series instead of just showing the first one. Still,
as you said there's a ton of info on it.

Here's another that focuses on AIDS stamps from 1988-1993.

------------------

As for Blair, thank you for the dozens of links to stamps. I have most
of those on my list, but a few were new to me. In particular the Ghana
ones.

Here's another that I'd love to identify more closely.

http://glhsc.org/db1/00055/glhsc.org...africaaids.jpg

I have only seen that picture of it, but haven't stumbled across it in
any of my other listings. Anyone out there have a year or a Scott
number for it? Do tell.

--------------------

I don't have links, but I thought I'd show one of my lists. For North
America & the Carribean alone, I have...

USA 1 1993 Red ribbon 2806
Canada 1 1996 Stained glass face 1603
Mexico 1 1989 Stick figures around center text
St. Kitts 4 2000 Various drawings from a contest 603-6
Antigua & Barbuda 1 2005 Red ribbon next to people in shape of red
ribbon 2785
St. Lucia 2 2004 Text next to pictures of people
Barbados 1 2002 Red ribbon surrounded by "Stay Safe / Love Life" text.
Set 1/4 on AIDS. 1039-42

Gosh! Mette.
thanks for the correction.
