Clinical Education Initiative Line
CEI Line: 716-898-4119
(24 hour support line)
The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute’s Clinical Education Initiative (CEI) is pleased to offer CEI-LINE a clinical educational line for primary care practitioners that are providing care to people with HIV in New York State. Specific questions tailored to clinical decision-making often do not require a formal educational program or training workshop, but are rather best answered through a one-on-one dialogue.
The CEI-Line offers the clinician the opportunity to discuss clinical management issues and guidelines with an experienced HIV clinician. The CEI-Line is staffed by HIV Clinical Specialists who can provide information on the latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances and how these advances can be integrated into routine care. For additional information visit the CEI Line website or call the toll free hotline:
