Chicago, IL, January 16, 2001. - Medical Advocates has converted the US Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection [December 17, 2001] from the pdf format
provided by the AIDS Treatment Information Service (ATIS) into an HTML format as the cornerstone of its new Pediatric Internet Resource Center that is scheduled to be operational on or about March 1, 2002. The new HTML format allows Medical Advocates to link to specific subfiles of pediatric data in these guidelines from its database of HIV drug and diagnostic data that includes more than 1600 hyperlinks to abstracts, full-text papers, and conference posters.

This new HTML document is provided as a public service primarily for the 6600+ physicians, other healthcare professionals, government agencies, and NGOs globally who use the Medical Advocates Web site, many of whom have limited access to the
Internet and/or time available to conduct comprehensive searches. Although an HTML version of the Adult and Adolescent Guidelines is provided by ATIS to supplement the pdf guidelines file, HTML versions are not provided for the pediatric, perinatal, and opportunistic infections guidelines.

Medical Advocates also features an HTML version of the Public Health Service Task Force Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant HIV-1 Infected Women for
Maternal Health and Interventions to Reduce Perinatal HIV-1 Transmission in the United States on its Web site and has also committed to complete an HTML conversion of the 2001 USPHS/IDSA
Guidelines for the Prevention of Opportunistic Infections in Persons Infected with HIV on or before April 1, 2002. The Medical Advocates' HTML conversion is not authorized by the Working Group that developed the guidelines.
