The Department of Health funds and supports HIV prevention services through a system known as the Regional AIDS Service Networks (AIDSNETs). The AIDSNETs, in cooperation with local health departments/districts and community organizations within the regions provide the following:

1) Together with the affected community, develop plans for HIV prevention and care services;

2) Provide HIV counseling, testing and partner notification services;

3) Conduct disease control activities as required by law;

4) Offer HIV prevention education and other interventions, such as needle-exchange programs, especially for those at highest risk of disease; and

5) Provide case management services.

The most populous county in each region administers and coordinates services in the AIDSNETs. Links to external resources are provided as a public service and do not imply endorsement by the Washington State Department of Health. Some of the sites contain graphic material about transmission of HIV and harm reduction.
