About HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service (ATIS)
The HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service provides timely,
accurate information about federally approved treatment
guidelines for HIV and AIDS. The service was developed
through a coordinated Public Health Service effort
involving:
Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
Indian Health Service (IHS)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA)
The HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service includes a free
telephone reference service for:
People with HIV disease, their families and friends
Health care providers
The toll-free telephone service 800-HIV-0440 (800-448-0440)
is available Monday - Friday, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, EST
(TDD/Deaf Access: 800-243-7012). The toll-free telephone
service is staffed by information specialists who answer
questions using the National Library of Medicine database of
HIV/AIDS treatment information.
ATIS is also a link to HIV/AIDS treatment information
resources. The treatment guidelines are available
electronically in HSTAT, available free of charge from
the National Library of Medicine. Currently, the AHCPR
supported guidelines on the evaluation and Management of
Early HIV Infection, selected Morbidity and Mortality Weekly
Reports (MMWR) and the published results of an NIH-sponsored
State-of-the-Art Conference are available.
The staff is working with many different HIV/AIDS
information services to build a comprehensive treatment
information referral network. This network will be used
to link callers to appropriate information resources.
