Materials Developed By The Resource Center

The Resource Center is proud to present the following materials for your use. These materials are in the public domain and may be used and distributed freely.

The Pocket Guide To HIV/AIDS Treatment
The "Pocket Guide to HIV/AIDS Treatment" is a collection of tables created from the various DHHS guidelines (Adult ART, Pregnancy, OIs). The Pocket Guide, color-coded for easy access and reproduced on durable cards joined with a ring clip, was produced by the AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) National Resource Center with funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration’s HIV/AIDS Bureau. The Pocket Guide is designed to assist clinicians in caring for patients with HIV/AIDS, but does not substitute for appropriate training. Contact the AETC near you to learn how to register for such training.

Pocket Guide Update! (July 3, 2001)
Following the release of the PHS Adult Antiretroviral Guidelines on February 5, 2001, a second version was undertaken reflecting the more conservative recommendations for initiation of ART and is now in print.

The Pocket Guide is being distributed through the AETCs and their Local Performance Sites (LPS) free of charge to providers attending AETC clinical training. A relatively limited supply of the Pocket Guide is also being distributed through the HRSA Information Center (1-888-ASK-HRSA) for those not currently or previously enrolled in AETC training. Orders will be limited to 10 per caller.

The Pocket Guide is also available in PDF format. Please note that when you print the Pocket Guide you may print them at their design size of 6.75 X 4.75 or select "Fit to Page" in the print dialog box to print a larger, easier to read version. Click Here
