The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has relaunched the redesigned AIDS website www.aids.gov. The site is the gateway to all federal HIV/AIDS information and resources. It was first launched in 2006 and over the years has added features including a location-based search tool for HIV testing and care services.

Said HHS Assistant Secretary, Dr. Howard K. Koh, “Redesigning AIDS.gov using responsive web design ensures that more Americans can easily access critical information about HIV/AIDS, including the latest news on the government’s efforts to usher in an AIDS-free generation.”
Visitors to the site will find the latest HIV/AIDS news, information on prevention, testing, treatment, and care; and federal resources. It also offers podcasts and a blog.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in five of the more than 1 million people living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their infection. As a result they are unable to access life-extending care and may unknowingly pass the virus on to others.
