Reviewers agreed that this is an excellent piece for people who are unfamiliar with the HIV medication regimens and those who are initiating therapy. One reviewer said this piece is "simple, to the point" and another described it as, "not complicated." One reviewer also noted that, even though this booklet is easy to comprehend, "it is a good tool to use with a counselor" to improve communication about HIV medication regimens. Reviewers recommend this booklet be distributed by physicians, case managers and HIV educators to "increase adherence, improve the quality of life and teach people about initiating (or not initiating) therapy."
