Reviewers commented that the booklet is very helpful and informative. One reviewer was interested in distributing this to peers in their support groups and at trainings. Reviewers said this piece would be most effective for people who are currently on or just starting medication and who are newly diagnosed. One reviewer noted that, "this is a long piece requiring a lot of reading, therefore it may be a good tool to use while having a discussion with a nurse, case manager or counselor." All reviewers liked the pill chart and commented that it would be important for everyone (with HIV) to have this resource.
