The main objective of the site is to provide updated information on interactions with antivirals used for the treatment of HIV and hepatitis C.

It also includes an information handbook on antiretrovirals, tools to facilitate communication of interactions to doctors, and fact sheets to better advise patients on how to take their medication or how to manage adverse reactions.
