{"value"=>"<p>The 1989 International AIDS Conference in Montreal, June 5 - 8, 1989. Begins with footage of women AIDS activists working and preparing for AIDS demonstrations. Contains street protests. This footage seems to relate mainly to women's non-treatment issues. Also contains conference symposium excerpts on prevention messages in European media.</p> <div class=\"note\"> <p>See also Catherine Saalfield [Gund] footage on Montreal.</p></div> <p>[From the ACT UP Capsule History: ]</p> <div class=\"note\"> <p> ACT UP demonstrates at the Fifth International Conference on AIDS in Montreal calling for a significant change in AIDS treatment research. ACT UP presents the revolutionary concept of parallel track drug testing, in which drugs already found to be non-toxic are placed in both clinical trials and released simultaneously to patients who do not qualify for the trials.</p> <p>The next week, ACT UP members are invited to discuss parallel track with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the AIDS program at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Days later, Fauci announces parallel track publicly, and the government appoints a panel (including an ACT UP member) to write procedural standards.</p> <p>That same week, ACT UP meets with Bristol Myers, the manufacturer of the anti-retoviral ddI, to demand ddI's release to patients who can no longer tolerate AZT. DdI is soon released to 5,000 patients.</p> <p>See also document on ACTUP NY website: \"When PWAs First Sat At The High Table.\"</p></div>"}
