HIV & STD Testing Web Links

HIV & STD Testing Web Links Following are some web sites of interest with information on the various types of HIV tests and issues regarding HIV & STD testing. We provide a short synopsis of site content and who created and/or sponsors the site. We provide these links as an introduction to your search for information on the Web. Inclusion here does not indicate an endorsement of any site.

Please note that many sites you will find here (and by a search engine: try searching for "HIV testing" for instance) are sponsored by drug companies. This sponsorship does not mean the information is necessarily prejudiced in the companies' favor, but is a factor you should be aware of.

Some people believe some governmental sites (due to funding restrictions from the Feds) may be biased in favor of abstinence based risk/harm reduction and that may appear to be the case in prevention areas of a site. Even non-profit sites may be motivated by a certain philosophy. We encourage you to check out the origin and sponsorship of any web site you access for information; often at the very bottom of the main page will be a link to "who we are" or "about us" or "Content Policy" or "Sponsors" or "Our Mission and Team." Access these links to better understand the philosophy and nature of the site and the information you will be accessing.

Please contact us with any suggested sites for inclusion or an editorial on a site you accessed from this page or on your search engine.
