About The Book
Project Inform, the nation's leading community-based AIDS treatment information and advocacy organization, presents the first comprehensive, user-friendly guide to all the drugs most used by people with HIV/AIDS.

Acclaimed for its accurate but nontechnical language, the handbook is easily accessible by way of an extensive master index. Features include:
