I wrote about HIV-911 a while back but I think it's appropriate to highlight this site today on World AIDS Day.
Many people don't know where to get help, testing and support....one of the best places to start is HIV-911, it's a comprehensive guide to HIV and AIDS-related support services in South Africa.
HIV-911 hosts information on almost 13 000 organisations involved in HIV and AIDS-related work. The site helps you find HIV and AIDS-related services that are available in your area.
You can search online OR call the data collection/referral line on 0860 HIV 911 OR Order provincial directories by calling 031 260 3052 or request via the site.
You can also try the HIV-911 pilot mobile directory by calling *120*467456# from a mobile phone
Do you have a related organisation? You can add your organisation to the HIV-911 database by emailing info@hiv911.org.za
