Seattle Treatment Education Project does not promote the philosophies or causes of contributors. Policies of the organization and official publications are the result of careful review and consensus of working board members and supporting members. The group's efforts represent the activities the board collectively feels will best provide objective information to those infected by HIV or at risk of HIV infection. The Seattle Treatment Education Project is founded on the premise of HIV testing, early intervention and continual education. The group's primary emphasis is on early intervention in the course of HIV infection to preserve health and save life.
Information is disseminated at public meetings held periodically.
At these meetings, persons infected with HIV or at risk of HIV infection, health care providers, service providers and interested members of the community are invited to discuss available HIV treatment options. One meeting a month is devoted to basic information, another meeting to more advanced, detailed information. The Seattle Treatment Education currently offers a telephone informational hotline. This line is staffed by volunteers trained to provide information to meet callers' expressed needs. The Seattle Treatment Education publishes a newsletter that contains the most current medical treatment information.
