WEB DESIGNERS: No, I don't want help designing my website, thank you very much, no matter how cheap you are. Don't waste your time contacting me.

EVERYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO DISCUSS SOMETHING HIV-RELATED: If we don't get back to you within two or three days, the reason could be one of these:

1. We haven't had time - we aren't funded by pharmaceutical companies so still have to earn a living

2. We are away and haven't picked up your message yet

3. You left a number that didn't work when we tried it, or else we couldn't hear what you said

4. You forgot to leave any contact details at all

5. We mislaid the number after we'd deleted your message (this hasn't happened yet, but could conceivably do so)

We aren't just deliberately ignoring you, so if you haven't heard from us, try again. You can alternatively try sending us an email message, below. It will handle long messages and won't chop chunks off without warning, for messages as long as the 'scurvy' article (that we tested it with). But if you want to send a long and detailed message you are advised to write it first in a word processor where you have backup before you copy and paste it here.
