The workbook needed to communicate the critical need for patient adherence in treating the virus, to “non-compliant” or marginal-lifestyle people living with HIV and AIDS.
The team used highly visual, easy-to-understand graphics and relatively little text on the materials. Students became well-versed in the biology of AIDS and the risks of non-compliance in order to explain these issues visually to patients. The workbook is designed to be reviewed and discussed by patients and caseworkers.
