AIDSinfo is pleased to present the sixth edition of the Glossary of HIV/
AIDS-Related Terms.
The Glossary is designed as a resource to help health care providers,
caseworkers, community-based organizations, and people living with
HIV/AIDS and their families and friends understand complex HIV/AIDS
terminology.
New in this edition:
• More than 170 new and updated terms, definitions, and abbreviations.
• An updated “Additional Resources” section.
The sixth edition’s updated “Additional Resources” section provides
details about useful resources for HIV/AIDS information. For each
resource included, there is a helpful description of services along
with contact information, Internet addresses, hours of operation, and
specifics such as bilingual capability.
A Spanish-language version of the glossary, Glossario del VIH/SIDA,
is also available. Both glossaries, along with an English-Spanish HIV/
AIDS terms translation tool, are available on the AIDSinfo and infoSIDA
Web sites.
AIDSinfo, a service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
