Managing Your Health, 1999 edition

Introduction


WELCOME TO the third edition of Managing Your Health: A Guide for People Living With HIV or AIDS, published by the Community AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE). This edition came about because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback to the first and second editions and the many requests received from people across the country for copies of the book. Chapters 3 through 8 contain updated treatment information, covering many of the treatment options that have emerged since 1997. The remaining chapters have gone through minor revisions.

Managing Your Health is intended for people living with HIV/ AIDS and their caregivers. (HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.)

 

Decisions about particular medical treatments should always be made in consultation with a qualified medical practitioner who is knowledgeable about HIV-related illness and the treatments in question. MORE
