Drama Down Under
This pocket-sized booklet contains information on each STI, including transmission, symptoms, testing and treatment, and things to consider if HIV-positive. It also contains other information on topics such as regular testing and what’s involved in a sexual health check, letting previous partners know, how to reduce the risk, and HIV and STI interactions. Published October 2009.

TREAT YOURSELF RIGHT
This resource is specifically for women with HIV. It provides information on a wide range of topics with a focus on health maintenance and treatments information. 3rd Edition Published November 2007.

Gay Men and Hepatitis C – Is a new resource leaflet which aims to inform gay men (and their health care providers) of the emerging risks of sexually acquired hepatitis C, particularly amongst PLHIV. The resource also aims to encourage testing if at risk, and to raise awareness that early treatment of hepatitis C is highly successful (a good reason to encourage regular testing). The resource further aims to allay some of the myths around sexual transmission thereby reducing feelings of panic or fear.

TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF
This resource takes an innovative peer approach to describing the experience of living with HIV/AIDS, based on the personal stories of people living with HIV/AIDS. Themes covered include treatments, sexuality, disclosure, work, money, pregnancy and fathering children, and more. Second Edition published in 2003.

SIDE EFFECTS
This booklet is for people with HIV who experience side effects from HIV treatments or other symptoms of HIV infection. It is intended as a guide to help identify the kinds of side effects that some people with HIV experience, and to provide suggestions on how to prevent, manage, reduce or eliminate some common side effects through the use of medicines, complementary and supportive therapies or practical measures.
