LAUNCHED! AIDS.gov Virtual Office Hours! Your social media questions answered here!

(AIDS) By Michelle Samplin-Salgado, New Media Strategist, AIDS.govAIDS.gov hosts Social Media Labs to provide free technical assistance for AIDS service organizations (ASOs) and Federal HIV programs to extend their stakeholder outreach. But many in the HIV community face travel restrictions and cannot meet us in person. To extend the reach of our social media assistance, we have launched AIDS.gov Virtual Office Hours, an online platform to provide the same support as the AIDS.gov Social Media Labs.

AIDS.gov Virtual Office Hours offers you one-on-one time with an AIDS.gov social media expert to ask questions about new media tools, learn strategies that are well-suited to your HIV outreach, and share your organizations best practices. Starting today, Tuesday, November 18, you can schedule an appointment to connect with AIDS.gov and receive social media support from wherever you are! You can make an appointment just for yourself, or invite other team members who may want to learn about social media.
