Legal Concerns for Providers of Internet HIV Prevention Programs--Recognizing and Avoiding Legal Pitfalls, Slide Presentation, C. Hanssens, Robert Thony, Jane Levine (2008)

As Internet-based strategies gain in popularity, many service providers want to know how to protect their agencies and their staff from liability or legal complications that can arise from these efforts. Working with underage youth online, exposing staff to sexually charged virtual environments, providing information and health advice that could be inaccurate--these are a few of the concerns that we created this PowerPoint presentation to address. This slide presentation was prepared for a program entitled "Avoiding Liability While Increasing Your Reach: Internet-based Initiatives and the Law," at a 2007 NYC-sponsored conference on expanding use of the internet for HIV prevention interventions. Catherine Hanssens, Executive Director of The Center for HIV Law & Policy, Robert Thony, MHRA law intern/Brooklyn Law School, and Jane Levine, Esq., General Counsel, MHRA prepared the slides.
