The number of visitors has increased massively over recent years, and keeps on rising. The reason? We constantly update our pages with the most current and relevant HIV/AIDS information available. Our audience comes from every walk of life, including students, teachers, people living with HIV and their families and friends. Many of our readers are from the US or the UK - where we are based - but we also have lots of visitors from elsewhere in the world. This is because of the extensive and comprehensive variety of information on HIV/AIDS and sexuality offered through the website. We look at controversies related to AIDS, we have a vibrant young people's section, and we look at almost every aspect of human sexuality - offering advice, answering difficult questions and providing accessible, easy to understand information on complex subjects. The website is run by AVERT, an international HIV and AIDS charity based in the UK which, before the days of the internet, amongst other things, used to produce informational booklets, posters and fliers giving people the information they needed to protect themselves from HIV. back to top The start of avert.org The site avert.org was started in 1995 with the first information being put up for December 1st , World AIDS Day. At that time there was almost no HIV/AIDS information on the web and AVERT was one of the first AIDS charities to go online. The site was started by Annabel Kanabus, who at that time was the chief executive of AVERT. Annabel was responsible for the development of the site as it evolved, keeping up with the rapid change of the internet worldwide. Annabel also was the web editor and wrote extensively for the site until she retired from AVERT in the summer of 2011. By then avert.org had become the most popular HIV/AIDS website in the world, and one of the most up to date, wide-ranging and respected sources on HIV/AIDS available online. back to top Where are we now? During 2010 we supplied more than 65 million pages of information to more than 30 million visitors from every corner of the world - from Europe, America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South America. The main reason that the site is here is to inform people, help people to protect themselves, and ultimately, to help people make educated decisions that can save lives. The site has become a major educational and informational tool, shaping decisions and providing information for people all around the world - from individuals to governments to journalists to teachers. That's something you can be a part of, too. Everyone's got something to say, and you'll find lots of parts of the site where your contributions will be welcome - whoever you are, whatever your race, age, sexuality or nationality. You can email us at info@avert.org if you'd like to comment on or contribute anything to the site. back to top BMA award In November 2005 AVERT.org was selected by the British Medical Association (BMA) as the winner of the BMA Patient Information Award for Websites. The website was praised by judges for being “very well referenced, information rich and possessing a clean look”. The BMA Patient Information Award for Websites was founded in 1998 to acknowledge the increasing importance of patient sites on the internet. The award came almost ten years to the day since the AVERT HIV and AIDS website was launched. back to top The source of it all The site's content comes from a number of different sources. These include: Original material written by people at AVERT.org. Old AVERT printed publications. We're trying to phase these out now, but we've incorporated all the relevant information into the site. Some content from users of the site who send in their stories to us on lots of different subjects - losing their virginity, being gay & coming out, living with HIV, or losing a friend or family member to AIDS.

Involving youth in the HIV response is key to lowering new HIV infections among the next generation and the role of technology in doing this is now clearer than ever. A sneak preview of results from an AVERT survey, due to be released on International Youth Day 2013 - 12 August, show that most young people prefer to get their sexual health and HIV/AIDS information online or via mobile, as it's quicker, confidential and cheap. But not all youth are the same, we've found regional variations in the type of technology young people prefer - with 67% of respondents from Africa using mobile phones for health information, compared to just 31% in Europe.
