Reviewers said this "informative brochure was easy to read and understand." The Q&A; format displayed the information in a "clear, simple manor." One reviewer commented that even though TB is a serious complication associated with HIV, the brochure is "not threatening" to the readers. The reviewers noted several ways in which they intend to use the information from the brochure, including; monitoring symptoms of TB in themselves; being more likely to request a TB test when visiting the doctor; and sharing this information with others to reduce the chances of contracting TB. Reviewers agreed that physicians, nurses and case managers should distribute this brochure.
