HIV Resource Quick List
The MAP AIDSLine maintains the HIV Resource Guide, a database of prevention and service programs available in Minnesota. The most current version of the Resource Guide is online and is searchable.
The new Resource Quick List is an abridged version of the HIV Resource Guide and contains the most commonly used programs and resources.
The Quick List can be viewed and downloaded by going to the MAP Web site at www.mnaidsproject.org/resourceguide.
The HIV Resource Guide database and Quick List are just starting points for locating services. If you have questions about something on this list or can’t find what you need, contact the MAP AIDSLine for personalized assistance. The MAP AIDSLine is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Reach us online at www.mnaidsproject.org/aidsline or by calling 612-373-2437 or 800-248-2437.
