The Louisiana HIV/AIDS Hotline
Everyone has questions about HIV and AIDS. The Louisiana HIV/AIDS Hotline, run by NO/AIDS Task Force, serves as your first source of useful, accurate, confidential answers: Where can I go for testing? How can I talk to my child about the risk of AIDS? What is "safer sex?" NO/AIDS Task Force volunteers are trained to answer all these questions and more.

Sexually active people who want to protect themselves and their partners from the HIV virus,
