Treatment Information Library

The Vancouver Island Persons with HIV/ AIDS Society 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 Librarian (who is also a trained peer-supporter) is available by appointment for private consultations.
