香港愛滋病網上辦公室是由衞生署衞生防護中心公共衞生服務處轄下特別預防計劃愛滋病服務組主理。
愛滋病服務組是衞生署特別預防計劃的一個執行部門，它推行有關愛滋病的公共衞生工作和向愛滋病患者提供臨床服務。愛滋病服務組始於1985年，當時主要提供愛滋病輔導和教育服務。鑑於愛滋病病毒感染者的日漸增加，於是增設臨床服務以結合輔導服務。自1990年以來，愛滋病服務組已充當愛滋病顧問局的秘書處。1996年設立的紅絲帶中心成為愛滋病服務推廣愛滋病預防及教育的基地。1999年，愛滋病臨床服務隨著綜合治療中心的開設進入了一個新的里程碑。
愛滋病網上辦公室的主要功能是作為愛滋病服務組發放資料的渠道；資料內容包括了四類：紅絲帶中心的愛滋病預防及健康推廣組舉辦的活動項目、綜合治療中心的愛滋病臨床服務、愛滋熱線及測試服務及監測及研究資料。
