This site is an authorized government resource for all HIV/AIDS treatment guidelines, including adult and adolescent, pediatric, and perinatal populations. It also contains guidelines for exposed health care workers, non-occupational exposure, opportunistic infections and tuberculosis. A unique feature provides users with instructions for loading PDF formatted treatment guidelines to their Palm OS or Pocket PC PDA, which makes guidelines an on-the-go reference tool. (Please note: As of December 2002, this site combines two previous websites: the HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Services, i.e. ATIS and the HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Information Services, i.e ACTIS).
