Founded in 2002, The Well Project was created to be a trusted virtual resource providing accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information on women and HIV. It is extremely important during this difficult time that we share only trusted, evidence-based information—taking the time to review the source and content of articles, memes, or posts before sharing on social media. We have compiled a list of trusted resources** we believe can be useful to our community including women living with HIV, their allies, and healthcare providers. “We will get through this trying time together. It is important to remember that we are stronger as a community than alone,” said The Well Project’s executive director in a letter published on March 13, Getting Through COVID-19 Together (Virtually) - The Importance of our Online Support Community.

**Information and data on COVID-19 (the new coronavirus) are very rapidly evolving. These resources include general information. Many are frequently updated – so it is a good idea to check the date on each resource after clicking on it. If you are a clinician, be sure to refer to updated sources for more specific recommendations regarding COVID-19. If you have an additional resource to add to this list, please email oford@thewellproject.org.
