Information Resource: Women, Children, and HIV

[Guest guest]

The François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Center at the University of Medicine and

Dentistry of New Jersey, and the University of California San Francisco’s

Center for HIV Information are pleased to announce the official launch of

the “Women, Children, and HIV” Web site (http://WomenChildrenHIV.org)

“Women, Children, and HIV” contains a comprehensive, Internet-based library

of practically applicable materials on mother and child HIV infection

including preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT), infant

feeding, clinical care of women and children living with HIV infection, and

the support of orphans. With the launch of this site, crucial information

about these rapidly changing and complex fields is now available in one

site.

The goal of “Women, Children, and HIV” is to enhance existing HIV/AIDS

prevention and care efforts by improving the availability of key materials.

The site communicates the latest developments in the field, reports relevant

findings from conferences and meetings, and provides access to new

curricula, guidelines, community education tools, and policy documents to

organizations on the frontline of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. An international

board of expert clinicians, researchers, and educators works with the

project leadership to ensure that the material on the site is of the highest

quality and relevance to the field.

“Women, Children, and HIV” is collaboration between the François-Xavier

Bagnoud (FXB) Center and the Center for HIV Information at UCSF (CHI). The

FXB Center is internationally recognized for its training and technical

assistance programs in PMTCT, pediatric, and family issues in HIV/AIDS

(http://www.fxbcenter.org). CHI develops and disseminates materials of

international relevance on HIV care, prevention, and policy through

innovative technologies. Its projects include HIV InSite

(http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu), one of the Internet’s most comprehensive and

respected resources on HIV/AIDS.
