Since 1988, AIDS Action’s Health Library has provided reliable and up-to-date information about HIV treatment and wellness.
This library is here to provide information to people with HIV and their partners, families, and friends, as well as healthcare and social-service providers. We also provide information on related illnesses, such as viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and tuberculosis (TB).
You can access the Health Library’s extensive online resources by using the pull-down menus below. The menus are arranged by major themes, such as “Learning About HIV” and “HIV Treatment and Cure Research.” When you click on each pull-down menu, you’ll find a list of Library web pages related to that theme.
Altogether, there are more than 240 topic pages related to HIV, hepatitis C, STIs, and TB. These pages have links to thousands of recent fact sheets, articles, and reports in English and Spanish.
Explore the links below for detailed information on over 200 topics related to HIV, STDs, viral hepatitis, and related health concerns.
