HIV Care Tools

Functionality & Mechanism

This mobile clinical support platform from the AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program streamlines point-of-care for clinicians managing HIV. The app consolidates key resources, featuring an antiretroviral (ARV) interactions checker, quick guides for PrEP and PEP, and clinical calculators for co-occurring conditions. The interface provides one-touch access to national clinician warmlines for expert consultation. All core content is accessible offline, supporting providers in various clinical settings regardless of internet connectivity.
