Info on the World Wide Web:
Basic AIDS/HIV Information
The Body is a website dedicated to demystifying HIV/AIDS and its treatment, improving the lives of people living with HIV & AIDS, and using the Web to lower barriers between patients and clinicians. It is among the most comprehensive HIV/AIDS sites on the Web.

HIV/AIDS Resource Center for Women is part of The Body website.  While the number of women with HIV in the United States -- not to mention around the world -- increases, there are precious few places on the Web where HIV-positive women can turn for critically important information and support--this website was developed to erase that lack of tools.  The site provides a variety of useful information designed to meet the special needs of women with HIV/Aids.
AIDS info is a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) project providing information on HIV/AIDS clinical trials and treatment and medical practice guidelines for consumers and health care providers. As the main dissemination point for federally approved HIV treatment and prevention guidelines, AIDS info provides information about the current treatment regimens for HIV infection and AIDS-related illnesses, including the prevention of HIV transmission from occupational exposure and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy.
AIDSmeds.com is dedicated to providing people living with HIV the necessary information they need to make empowered treatment decisions. The founder and writers of this web site are all living with HIV, and we know first hand the challenges of learning how to fight this virus. By offering complete, but not complicated, up-to-date info, AIDSmeds.com seeks to help those that are both new and old to this challenge, and to remain a powerful resource for years to come.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintain a website dedicated the prevention of HIV infection and the reduction of the incidence of HIV-related illness and death. The site contains recommendations and guidelines for
