Swiss Doctors for HIV-Prevention

This homepage has been designed by the doctors of AIDS Information Switzerland.

It is the aim of AIDS Information Switzerland to supply those who are interested with thorough and comprehensible information about the HIV illness and AIDS, as well as to intensify the education on prevention.

Some of the texts originate from the American health authority, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has made them available to us. From the very start, the CDC has played an outstanding role at global level in the campaign against the HIV epidemic.

AIDS Information Switzerland is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) “in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations”.
