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.
