Request Assistance Update

The Network (ATDN) is a community-based organization located in New York City, where we provide direct case management services to New Yorkers with HIV and HIV/Hepatitis co-infection. We also have a national assistance program called The Access Project that serves people with HIV, chronic hepatitis C, Hepatitis B, and other diseases. Check with your state's webpage for phone numbers and links to a wide range of resources.

We have new Request Assistance Guidelines. Our live national phone hours are Monday through Wednesday from 12:00 to 4:00, Eastern Time. At other times either use the Request Assistance form or leave a message at 1-800-734-7104, extension 22. Using Request Assistance form will get you the fastest response, unless demand is very heavy. If you have submitted a request for HIV or Hepatitis assistance (or other) and we missed you, please try again. We have a new system in place that can handle the larger numbers. Sign up for our mailing list so your requests don't get filtered out as possibly unsafe. Thanks!
