Reviewers agree that this piece may be most helpful for people who are just starting HIV therapy, as well as for their families and friends. One reviewer said that until she read this brochure, she, "did not realize how much other people were involved in (her) adherence to medication." Another reviewer, who is an adherence counselor, said she is planning to "walk clients through this tool to help them understand the team approach" among their providers, and their family members. Most of the reviewers agreed that the pill chart is very useful for adherence to their HIV medication and helps teach about the different types of HIV medications available.
