ESPAÑOL Project Inform created this series of three publications to address commonly asked questions and issues that people face as they come to terms with their diagnosis of HIV or AIDS and begin to address their health needs, including making decisions about starting HIV meds. The set of booklets is free to all individuals who request them. We also value the many service providers who help distribute them. We offer bulk orders for free to CBOs, ASOs, testing sites and provider networks, and we appreciate those who are able to make a donation. (booklet 1 of 3) This booklet helps guide individuals on basic things to do after finding out they’re HIV-positive, with an emphasis on understanding HIV infection, getting into care, and finding a support network. Considering treatment & your health care (booklet 2 of 3) This booklet explores decision making about HIV health, from considering treatment to talking things out with a support network and doctors to thinking more broadly about personal health needs. What you should know about when to start & what to use (booklet 3 of 3) This booklet focuses on the issues related to taking HIV medications, including deciding when to start and what to use, planning ahead, considering how treatment may affect one's life, and finding an HIV-experienced doctor.
