AB OBJECTIVES: To provide guidelines for an optimal HIV/AIDS public
telephone information service. METHODS: Literature review data is
compared with experiences and call data from over 22,000 calls to the
New South Wales HIV/AIDS Information Line in 1993. RESULTS: There are
characteristics of providing telephone based information such as
accessibility, immediacy, anonymity, and intimacy which are particularly
appropriate to giving information about HIV/AIDS. Although starting
thirty years later, HIV/AIDS helplines have echoed the themes and
philosophical issues of the first telephone helplines which started as a
response to suicide. Problematic issues are whether HIV/AIDS information
lines provide crisis intervention, are client-controlled or directive,
should use non-professional staff, target appropriate groups and can be
used for research. CONCLUSION: Examination of these issues provides
useful information for the delivery of an effective HIV/AIDS telephone
information service.
