In many ways, the Internet almost seems to have been invented for sharing information about a new disease like HIV. It can be accessed by anyone, anytime, anonymously, around the world. And it can be updated as frequently as new medications, new treatment protocols and the results of new research become available.

However, not everything you read on the web is true. There is no monitoring organization that oversees Web sites for accuracy and reliability. Anyone can post health "facts" on-line. Many of those "facts" are simply not true. Some sites are rip-offs, designed to get your money. Don't stay on any site that promises a "cure" for HIV. At this date there is no cure, and any site that claims to have one is a scam.

That said, the fact remains that the Internet is the perfect place to research HIV and AIDS. Here are some additional sites that consistently provide reliable, up-to-date information.
