The amount of information available regarding how and when to treat
HIV is enormous, even overwhelming. While it's not necessary, or even
possible, to read everything that has been written, it is important
that you find some good, up-to-date sources of information that work
for you. Make sure to check for updates often, since treatment options,
and our understanding of how they work in the body, change frequently.
Important questions and topics, at left, are discussed in this section.
GMHC's Treatment Education
and Advocacy department offers a number of ways to
help you learn about treatments. These include:
The Rachel Berger HIV/AIDS Treatment Library
GMHC's treatment library is a great resource for current information
on the many different HIV treatment options. The library has internet
accessible computers for online treatment research and offers computer
and internet classes for new and first-time users. The library is
located on the 6th floor, and is open most days from 11:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. Please call 212-367-1455 for library hours and further
information.
Peer Counseling
GMHC's free and confidential peer counseling service can help you
get answers to questions you may have about treatments. Call 212-367-1455
for more information.
Monthly forums,
workshops and seminars

each month. Topics range from the basics of HIV disease and treatment
to managing side effects through nutrition. In addition, GMHC collaborates
