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]

Lessons from GRACE: A US Study Focused on Women Living with HIV
http://www.thewellproject.org/en_US/Treatment_and_Trials/Things_to_Consider/GRACE_Study.jsp
GRACE is the largest HIV/AIDS study to date in North America of HIV treatment experienced women. The study looked at whether darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) in combination with other ARVs would have a different effect in women compared to men. Black women were the focus of the GRACE Study because of the disproportionate effect that HIV/AIDS has in this population throughout the US.
It also is reportedly the longest ongoing disease progression study of HIV infection in women.

Quality of life in the GRACE study
http://i-base.info/htb/14452
The report looks at the quality of life in the study participants and how it impacted on discontinuing the study and virological response.
