Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment programs in resource-limited areas are expanding rapidly. Providing training and education to health care providers in these programs is a major challenge. We have employed Internet-based conferencing technology to conduct interactive case-based training conferences with health care professionals in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. This online program may be a model for other efforts to provide education to health care providers treating HIV-infected patients in the developing world.
