Abstract
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.
