Sites: Links to AIDS Information

Where do you start? Finding your way through AIDS sites can be daunting. A page at the New York Academy of Medicine site can provide a stationary point with a number of links to sites.

Here is a short list of sites that provide information on AIDS and HIV infection. Many of them provide links to additional sites to explore.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National AIDS Clearinghouse site, where you can retrieve an electronic version of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report at least a week before it is mailed out, as well as daily news, statistics and services for people with HIV.

The Social Security Administration site gives information about disability benefits that is very important to many people living with HIV.
The Body
The HIV sequence database at Los Alamos National Laboratories where you can examine the genetic sequence of HIV itself.
The City University of New York (CUNY) New York Online Access to Health
The AIDS pathology site where you can view professional-quality photographs of the various organisms that cause opportunistic infections and the effects of those Ols.
The Safer Sex page where you can even download a video how to put on a condom.

The AIDS Research Information Center, Inc. (ARIC) is a private, non-profit AIDS medical information service located in Baltimore, Maryland. ARIC serves People with HIV/AIDS and those who care for and love them. Their speciality is making complex medical information understandable to the average Person with HIV/AIDS.

Many community organizations that have responded to the AIDS epidemic have also begun appearing on the Web. For example, go to the AIDS Quilt for information about the memorial and to participate in honoring the memory of those who have died from HIV infection.
