At times we’ve found it really difficult to know what information we can trust.
There’s so much information out there, especially on the Internet. So how do we know which is worth looking at?
It’s easy to put a subject into a search engine, get thousands of suggested websites and end up confused and scared. Here are websites and written resources that we’ve found to be reliable, trustworthy and up to date.
aidsmap
This has in-depth information on all aspects of living with HIV and all the the latest science and research. NAM, the organisation responsible for aidsmap, also has a series of patient information booklets that you can order through the website.
Avert
This website has information on HIV for people all over the world. There are specific sections for the UK and for gay men.
i-base
This site has in-depth information on HIV treatment and an option to ask questions online and by email.
i-Base also runs a phoneline to answer questions about treatment. Telephone: 0808 800 6013 (Monday to Wednesday, 12noon to 4pm).
NHS Direct
This has advice on any health topic.
The Body
A US website with extensive, in-depth information on many issues relating to HIV. Targets anyone living with HIV, not just gay men.
Terrence Higgins Trust
Our main website has details of local services, information, advice and support. You can also order our ‘Living with HIV’ booklets through the website, if your clinic does not have copies of them.
