Policies and Disclaimers


HIV Content Notice

This site contains HIV prevention messages that may not be appropriate for all audiences. Since HIV infection is spread primarily through sexual practices or by sharing needles, prevention messages and programs may address these topics. If you are not seeking such information or may be offended by such materials, please exit this Website.



Policy Regarding the Inclusion of Organizations in the NPIN Organizations Database

To be included in the NPIN Organizations Database, organizations must focus their services on one or more of the disease areas of NPIN (HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, STDs, or TB) or offer specific programs targeting one or more of these diseases. View the full policy (PDF) for more information on which types of organizations and services are included.

If you have questions about NPIN’s Organizations Database policy, please contact us at info@cdcnpin.org.
