TREATMENT INFORMATION
Treatments can be complicated. Finding out what your medications are doing for you and learning how to live with the regimens and the side-effects can be equally complicated. We will help you to find what you need and assist you in your search. The library is also available to health care providers and students seeking to learn more about HIV medications.

Treatment Information Library
The Vancouver Island Persons with HIV/AIDS Society (VPWAS) provides a comprehensive, up-to-date HIV treatment Information Library.
Reference material includes: current guidelines for the treatment of HIV/AIDS; plain language fact sheets on HIV medications, side-effects and related conditions, actively recruiting clinical drug trials in Canada, and comprehensive information on nutrition, complementary therapies and other self-care strategies for people with HIV.
Other services include post-test counseling by trained peer (HIV+) supporters, interpretation of lab tests, and general health promotion information.
The Treatment Information Library is available Monday to Friday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
