by Mary Beth Polley

Boston AIDS activist and researcher Stephen Boswell was appointed Monday to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. Boswell will continue to run the Fenway Community Health Center, one of the largest HIV/AIDS treatment centers in the Northeast, while working with the advisory council's 34 other members to advise the president and his cabinet on issues related to HIV/AIDS.

Boswell began working at Fenway in 1994 and became the organization's executive director in 1997. He also teaches at Harvard Medical School, serves on several state medical panels, and co-chairs Project ABLE, an AIDS advocacy group.
