Brief Synopsis of NRC Consumer Reviews: Reviewers said, "this
booklet is helpful and should be read by anyone who is taking medications
for HIV." The topic is one that people are "continuously asking
questions about and always need more information on." Reviewers
agree that physicians and nurses could distribute this booklet "while
discussing anti-HIV medications with their patients." The booklet
was effective in increasing the awareness levels among reviewers.
One reviewer commented that he is "more likely to talk to (his)
physician about this and look for (his) own side effects, like lipodystrophy"
after reading this booklet.
