Flu Season Protection: Information on Web

A brochure, "Protecting Your Family from Influenza," is available at http://www.apic.org/Content/NavigationMenu/PracticeGuidance/Topics/ConsumerPatientResources/APICFamily/Family_IC_Resources.htm, the Web site of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. It is written for the general public, not specifically for persons with HIV.

It outlines approaches including vaccination, handwashing, avoiding exposure, and drugs which can be used to lessen the severity of the illness.
