A new HRSA-supported pocket guide offers
physicians easy access to clinical information on the care
and treatment of individuals with HIV/AIDS.
The Pocket
Guide to HIV/AIDS Treatment is color-coded and made of
durable 6.75 by 4.75 inch cards joined with a ring clip for
quick reference. It features tables on antiretroviral drug therapies and information
on drug form, dosage, toxicity and interactions. Regimens are available for treating pregnant women and individuals
co-infected with HIV and tuberculosis or a sexually transmitted
disease. The
tables follow U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
guidelines.
The guide is a product of the AIDS Education
and Training Centers’ National Resource Center (NRC), which
is supported by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau.
The Pocket
Guide is an information resource and providers are encouraged
to use this tool in conjunction with drug manufacturers' package
inserts. Updates on the guide can be found on NRC's Web site at www.aids-ed.org.
For a hard copy of the guide, visit the HRSA Information
Center at http://www.ask.hrsa.gov
or call 1-888-Ask-HRSA.
It can also be downloaded and printed from the Web at
