The Internet gives unprecedented access to an abundance of new and
varied sources of information from public research and health institutions,
private agencies and other social services and social sciences
organizations with comprehensive websites. In this paper, a selection of
Spanish websites that deal specifically with HIV infection are reviewed.
All of these websites are interesting and useful resources for psychologists
as well as for other professionals working in health and social welfare
services. Such websites can provide psychologists with a depth and
breadth of information ranging from: AIDS-related health, social services
and psychological issues, research and resources; how to find therapeutic
resources for treatment of seropositive clients; and how to find
practical the tools and means for engaging in AIDS prevention activities
aimed at young people. This compendium of internet resources may also
be useful for: learning how to contact professionals and research teams
who specialize in AIDS research and treatment; conducting extensive
bibliographical searches; and locating such resources as self-help groups,
shelters, and economic assistance programs. In all, 65 websites are presented.
This paper comments on the contents of these websites, and it
recommends sections of these websites that should be of particular interest
to psychologists and other professionals engaged in AIDS treatment,
research, and outreach.
