Use the Internet to learn more about HIV

Bay Area Reporter - April 20, 2001
Cynthia Laird

Science and research around HIV are evolving and there is always room to learn more about finding medical information on the Internet. A free class this Wednesday, April 25, in San Francisco, will focus on improving Internet search skills relative to HIV information and interested people are encouraged to sign up.

The class takes place from 7 to 8:15 p.m. and will focus on tips to finding up-to-date HIV-related information via the Internet. Learn where to find the latest in alternative medicine, confidentiality issues, clinical trials, and more. No computer is necessary.

Through a grant from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, the Community Health Resource Center has been able to offer these computer classes to different age groups or common health concerns. The class is facilitated by librarians from the California Pacific Medical Center Health Sciences Library and will meet in the auditorium at the Davies campus of CPMC. To register, call (415) 923-3155.
