"This book is intended for use by clinicians to determine potential problems or benefits when an individual medication is mixed with food/nutrients, supplements, or other drugs." Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) protocols are now published by the American Dietetic Association. The protocols have as major goals: "Maximize the effectiveness of medical and pharmacological treatments," "Prevent the development of specific nutrient deficiencies," "Optimize nutrition status, immunity and overall well being," "Prevent and manage medication side effects," "Prevent loss of weight and lean body mass and other facets of malnutrition," and "Minimize health care costs."

The HIV drugs are listed in alphabetical order and include name, producer, dosage, and complete information about the drug, its side effects, reactions to other drugs and food, and other vital health information. As mentioned before, this is a book for clinicians that are treating HIV patients. Also included is information on various foods as to their potential of creating a problem, herbal products, dietary supplements, a list of 120 references for additional reading, and a list of HIV information resources. This is a must book for physicians treating HIV patients and a recommended book for all reference collections of health science libraries.
