It lists medications that may be approved in the future and provides recommendations regarding salvage or rescue therapies.

Brief Synopsis of NRC Consumer Reviews: According to one reviewer, "The information is clear and concise. It pulls together topics from several resources into one informational guide." Reviewers commented that the booklet is packed with great information that both treatment-experienced and treatment naïve consumers may find helpful. Reviewers commented that the booklet may also be used as a resource for clinical and non-clinical providers- case managers, peer counselors and non-HIV care specialists. Reviewers also suggested that people living with HIV currently on medication, considering taking medication or who have been on medication for a long period of time should use this as a resource.
