This is so that anyone can start learning about treatment, and in turn pass that information on to others.<\/li>\n<li>The material has been written in a way that makes it easier for you to then explain the information again to other people without a medical background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This course is written by treatment advocates who have had no formal medical training and who are mostly HIV-positive \u2013 and we&#8217;ve tried to remember the biggest surprises that we found as we developed our own treatment knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>This resource is part of a copyright-free project that is available on the i-Base website to download in various formats, or to work online.
