United States AIDS Hotlines

AIDS hotlines are invaluable for basic HIV/AIDS information. You can talk to someone knowledgeable about HIV, and get referrals to various AIDS services in your city or state. Typically, hotlines are open Monday through Friday 9 to 5, with some also open evenings and Saturdays. The National AIDS hotline in Washington, D.C. is the only hotline open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year: 1-800-CDC-INFO. If you're from a country outside of the United States, we have many resources for you -- browse through our list of links.
