infoSIDA - The New Spanish-Language HIV/AIDS Information Web Site From AIDSinfo
AIDSinfo and its sponsoring agencies are proud to launch infoSIDA, a comprehensive Spanish-language Web site featuring information about HIV treatment and clinical trials.
AIDSinfo is a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) project that offers the latest federally approved information on HIV/AIDS clinical research, treatment and prevention, and medical practice guidelines for people living with HIV/AIDS, their families and friends, health care providers, scientists, and researchers.
Previously, visitors could access Spanish materials, browse Spanish health topic links, and order publications in Spanish within the AIDSinfo Web site. Now, however, infoSIDA provides users with an all Spanish Web environment, including a customized home page and a search engine that locates Spanish-language resources posted on infoSIDA.
infoSIDA can be accessed several ways:
infoSIDA provides access to many Spanish-language resources, including:
Bilingual health information specialists are available to assist users in navigating and locating infoSIDA resources by calling 1-800-448-0440, Monday through Friday, from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST). Users can also communicate with infoSIDA staff by logging onto Live Help from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. EST or by sending an email directly to contactus@aidsinfo.nih.gov.
AIDSinfo and infoSIDA are sponsored by: the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Office of AIDS Research (OAR), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
