AEGiS Links: Patient Resources

Survivorship A to Z: Unique Mission: To provide the practical information you need to thrive in the "new normal" that exists after a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. The information applies to all life-changing conditions, and is modified when appropriate to HIV disease. The information can also be tailored for your life and situation through an Individual Action Plan.
Caring for Someone with AIDS at Home: One of the best places for people with AIDS to be cared for is at home, surrounded by the people who love them. Many people living with AIDS can lead an active life for long periods of time. Most of the time, people with AIDS do not need to be in a hospital. Being at home is often cheaper, more comfortable, more familiar, and gives them more control of their life. In fact, people with AIDS-related illnesses often get better faster and with less discomfort at home with the help of their friends and loved ones.
Drug Rehab: Do you suffer from drug addiction? Find drug rehab programs online. Learn about drug detox programs as well as inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment for individuals requiring help.
Help the Hospices - International section: The international programme of Help the Hospices aims to support the development of hospice and palliative care worldwide, particularly in resource-poor countries. This is achieved through the support of networks of international collaboration in the UK and around the world, worldwide grants, advocacy, funding, workshops, information, reports and publications.
HIV Anonymous: HIV Anonymous is a global network that offers unbiased support to people infected with, affected by, or at risk for HIV/AIDS. It is a fellowship of men and women who are committed to a way of life that will help fight the spread of HIV. There is a dire need to remove the stigma and face the fears and ignorance surrounding HIV/AIDS. Our fellowship is helping to reduce the prejudice and discrimination against HIV/AIDS-affected individuals.
National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO): NHPCO is the largest nonprofit membership organization representing hospice and palliative care programs and professionals in the United States. The organization is committed to improving end of life care and expanding access to hospice care with the goal of profoundly enhancing quality of life for people dying in America and their loved ones.
