One good source of information is the daily report from the CDC on AIDS, which then automatically sends updates each year on statistics. The Prevention News Mailing List is maintained by the National Prevention Information Network (NPIN), part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention. Regular postings include the Prevention News Update, conference announcements, current funding opportunities, select articles from the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report series and announcements about new NPIN products and services.
