TB in our Lives – A detailed guide by Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa, with emphasis on coinfection with HIV. Activists wrote the guide about how TB attacks the body, how it is treated and the things they can do to help fight TB in their communities.
They explain things in a way that makes sense and that is not too technical so that readers can go on and explain about TB to others. The guide has information sheets for people living with TB, support groups and clinics. [PDF download]
