This retrospective chart review, supported by the Company, evaluated the challenges associated with diagnosing low testosterone in men with HIV/AIDS.

When applied once-daily to the upper arms and shoulders, clinical studies have shown that Testim will restore and maintain testosterone levels. Once Testim is absorbed through the skin, it enters the bloodstream and helps return testosterone to normal levels. The efficacy of Testim has been demonstrated in 16 clinical studies involving approximately 1,800 patients, including the largest placebo-controlled study ever conducted to evaluate the benefits and risks of testosterone replacement therapy. Auxilium estimates that approximately 76 million tubes, or daily applications, of Testim have been used since the product was launched in 2003.
