This collection documents both this particular organization and the phenomena of buyer's clubs, which have been a major source of unapproved medications and other treatment modalities since the mid-1980s. Among the documents in the first folder of the collection is one from 1986 titled "Federally Unapproved Medications for the Treatment of AIDS and ARC; How to Get Them, How to Bring Them Home, and How to Use Them." This is an overview of how these substances were originally obtained, with a description of how to buy drugs in Mexico and deal with border crossings ("...look as ordinary as possible; consider it a new type of drag").

The folder titled "Photographs" contains eight snapshots of unidentified HAF members from about 1986 displaying products recently obtained on a run to Mexico. The folder labeled "FDA and 1992 ddC Incident" contains documentation of a 1992 FDA sampling and testing of ddC tablets purchased from HAF. These document a particular investigation and HAF's response to it, but they also reveal the attitude and approach of the FDA and its relationship with buyer's clubs in general. The final two folders indicate the range of products available in 1992 and how particular products were ordered.
