Guidelines and Related Websites
New York State HIV Mental Health Guidelines
The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, has been developing guidelines for HIV medical and mental health care for many years. These guidelines have been updated, and we have been asked to make them available to our members. The guidelines are available online at www.hivguidelines.org — use the drop-down menu under "Clinical Guidelines". The guidelines include those relevant to AIDS psychiatry.
American Psychiatric Association HIV Website
The American Psychiatric Association's HIV website at www.psych.org/aids provides information and links to APA-sponsored education programs, training curricula, clinical resources, policy information, and patient education materials for psychiatrists and other medical and mental health professionals.
HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan Information Resource for South Africa (NSPiSA)
A database of research projects and publications is being developed by the HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan Information Resource for South Africa (NSPiSA). The aim of the NSPiSA database is to allow policy makers, stakeholders, and other researchers to stay abreast of current and ongoing research and thus facilitate dialogue between the research community and the South African National Aids Council (SANAC) and its constituent committees and task teams. Read the NSPiSA story here.
