Photocopy Instructions
 
 
 
All reproducible PDF files are designed to print out high-quality copies. If printing from your computer system, the quality of your copies will depend upon your printer and the paper you use.

Many of these handouts are for lower literacy readers. All reproducibles should be explained to the patient/client by a qualified health professional. This allows patients/clients to quickly get answers to any questions about handout information. Patient/client literacy, particulary reading ability and the ability to comprehend handout material, must be assessed before offering any educational materials.

Reproducibles for those with a few HIV-positive patients/clients

Some of the handouts have two versions to allow for as needed duplication from a personal computer. One version has a format that decreases the use of ink to make reproducing the handouts more cost-effective. This reproduction method may be more useful for clinicians and organizations that do not see many HIV-positive people. 

Organizations specializing in HIV/AIDS

Organizations with a large number of patients/clients may give their printer copies of the Reproducibles on a CD to make duplicating easier. These materials are reproduced best by professional printers. In the instance that a handout has two versions, you may want to choose which version suits you so the printer will not duplicate both versions.

As an alternative, you can print out a master copy of each PDF file from your computer using a heavyweight paper (80# is a good choice). Laminating the finished master copy helps it to last longer. 

Highlights: Reproducibles for lower-literacy HIV-positive patients/clients

A number of reproducibles have been condensed into a handout for readers with lower reading skills. These handouts are more suitable for people with third to sixth grade reading levels. We welcome suggestions as to how we may design the handouts for those people with even lower reading skills.
