Here is an intresting site I  posted in  the nutrition forum, the University of Maryland- which has a Spanish link as well.

Can a Spanish speaker  write something because  not knowling English might stop some people from checking it out. I actually thought that aidsmeds had a Spanish forum and e mailed  Tim to write something , when I found out that there isn't a Spanish forum.

You Spanish speakers might want to ask if aidsmeds want to expand with some forums  such as Spanish for people who can't use English, or like me can hardly type in English... oh yeah
spell check
de nada!

Yes I am very bad! These forums are improving my English which I had almost forgoten. Saying "what would you like to drink" isn´t a very good way of practising. The new spelling feature is helping me even more, but I forget to use it sometimes. I remember in school we did spelling tests in English. Poor Miss Bell...
I think the forums are OK this way. If there was another forum in any other language it would be isolated from the English one and that would decrease its value.

I was of the understanding that the main AIDSMEDS site has it's lessons in both english and spanish. I seem to recall an en espanol option.

I was talking about forums, not lessons. I brought it up because there are people who don't use English as a language. As for isolating , since people who speak only Spanish and don't use English in any form aren't using this site I wouldn't think it would be an issue of devaluing this site because I am sure everyone  ( except me )here  has a grasp on English and not run over to the espanol site. We could sneak peaks at the pics ;- )

 Since coming on board here in May, June of 03, everytime a new forum has been brought up people think it is the end of the world. Back then there was no "I Just Tested Poz" or "Off Topic" and now there are 1814 members.

I guess because living in NYC so many services are geared to people who have little or no grasp of the  English language .
I am sure the pharmas would like this idea.
