New Side Effects Booklet
posted: 02/07/2009
NAM’s new information booklet Side-Effects is about something that worries many people living with HIV. This is the first edition of this booklet.
This booklet provides information about the possible side-effects of taking HIV treatment. All drugs, including those used to treat HIV, can cause unintended/unwanted effects, and you may be reading this because you are worried about such side-effects or have experienced them.
There is information here to help you understand, avoid and deal with any side-effects.
Side-effects are not inevitable, and just because they are talked about in this booklet does not mean that you will develop it. Even if a side-effect develops, it is usually mild, temporary, or treatable.
After reading this booklet, you might want to discuss any side-effects of HIV treatment with your HIV doctor or another member of your healthcare team.
People with HIV can order it for free here, read it online here - use the chapter headings in the menu column on the left - or download the pdf version of the booklet, which you could then print.
