Many organizations offer help of different types to peopleaffected by HIV.

The list of these resources, however, is a moving target. Any such list—and there are many—gets outdated fast. New organizations spring up, and old organizations change the services they offer, change their ad­dresses and phone numbers, expand, merge, or go out of business. Most lists of resources are updated every few months.

Given that, the best thing this book can do is list the types of ser­vices that can be available to people affected by HIV, list a few national resources that offer these services, and offer advice on how to find re­sources that are local.
