Some Comments on the Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of HIV/AIDS Patients’ Family toward Their Patients before and after Counseling

I did read the paper the knowledge, attitude and behavior of hiv/aids patient's family toward theirpatients before and after counseling in a recent issue of ijms.1 there are, however, some concernsthat i would like to mention here. in the paper's abstract, it was better to mention in detail the family members who participated in the study. also a description should have been provided on the type of the intervention. for example, it had to be made clear wether the intervention was done on individual subjects or was performed on a group on subjects. in materials and methods section, the type of the study, which was a one-group semi-experimental pretest/post-test design,2 was not mentioned. moreover, in the acknowledgements section, instead of using “investigation”, or “study”, the word “survey” was used, which is a different type of study by itself.
