Introduction

The objective of this website is to advance comprehensive HIV care, and to improve the health and quality of life for HIV-infected persons in the Chugoku-Shikoku region by providing up-to-date information regarding HIV infection.
Information regarding medicine and medical care is constantly in a state of flux. In particular, information in the field of AIDS tends to change rapidly, so what was considered common knowledge yesterday has been superceded today. As such, we make the utmost effort to maintain the accuracy of the information posted here. However, we cannot guarantee that all the information provided here is absolutely up to date and appropriate for everybody.
We cannot be held responsible for the actions that people who read these pages choose to take. Please understand that using the information here requires such users to take full responsibility for their actions. Also, please be advised that making decisions regarding the condition and medical care of any patient must be done in consultation with the supervising physician.
This website is operated as a nonprofit entity under the “Chugoku-Shikoku Regional-block AIDS Control Measures Promotion Program” subsidized by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The Hiroshima Prefectural Government has contracted for funded research with Hiroshima University, and the staff of Hiroshima University Hospital is in charge of the actual operation.
