Abstract: Anyone infected with the HIV virus who is considering treatment should have as much information as possible about the different options available. To treat the infection, doctors are using antiretrovirals to slow down the production of the virus inside the body. Some of the issues that have to be addressed include availability of treatment, knowledge of the drugs, correct ways to use these inhibitors, side effects, and the risks of combining them with other drugs. Contact the National Minority AIDS Council for information.
