  1. Scroll down the page to the MEDLINEplus section and click on the AIDS link.

    2.  
  2. From the "Contents of this page" area on the left of the page you can select sections such as General/Overviews, Disease Management, Nutrition, Treatment, Clinical Trials, Alternative Therapy, etc.

    4.  
  4. If you scroll further down the main page on the left hand side, a number of MEDLINEplus related pages are offered including AIDS-Living with AIDS.

 

Next you can return to the CHAIN Links page and click on AEGIS--AIDS Education Global Information System.
