ABSTRACT

The demographic profile of HIV infection has evolved just as the science of anti-HIV therapy has progressed. Rates of new infection are disproportionately rising within minority groups. Continued ignorance about HIV continues to take a grisly toll. The World-Wide Web, as a democratic information distribution system allowing privacy at point of access, may be the best medium available to improve prevention initiatives. This article evaluates a select list of HIV/AIDS education and prevention Web sites geared to the new at-risk populations. An Appendix provides an additional list of general interest HIV/AIDS education and prevention Web sites.
