Featured Resource

The SPHERE website spotlights a resource that deals with HIV/AIDS/viral hepatitis and substance use. Our intention is to make these resources - often available online - more accessible to interested individuals and to offer you an opportunity to review materials and websites of interest. The Featured Resource does not necessarily represent the views of this project or its parent agency. However, it may be useful to a variety of health and human service providers in their efforts to integrate HIV/AIDS/hepatitis C into their work. Depending on the Resource, you may want to share the Featured Resource with:clients, program participants, patients, colleagues, co-workers, family, and/or friends. An archive of past Featured Resources is provided for your convenience. To download this month's featured resource or an item from the archive, choose from the list below and fill out the form. Feel free to email us resources you think should be included in the future.
