Consumer Fact Sheets

The AIDSinfo staff has developed a popular series of fact sheets to supplement the HIV/AIDS treatment guidelines. They were created for consumer audiences to make the guidelines information easier to understand. Some of the topics covered in the fact sheets include: Testing HIV Positive - Do I Have AIDS?, HIV and Its Treatment: What You Should Know, Side Effects of Anti-HIV Medications, HIV During Pregnancy, Adhering to My HIV Treatment Regimen. We update these fact sheets regularly, so they are accurate, succinct, and easily accessible. To see what other topics are covered in this series go to the AIDSinfo Fact Sheet and Booklets page of the site.
