From Library Journal:
This updated edition of an excellent guide by the director of the Infectious Diseases Division of Johns Hopkins Hospital not only treats the medical aspects of the disease but also places a much-needed emphasis on the psychological and social factors affecting HIV/AIDS patients, their loved ones, and caregivers. The book gives reliable and detailed information about preventing and treating HIV/AIDS, clearly describes symptoms and complications that may occur at progressive stages, and evaluates the most effective treatments currently available, both conventional and alternative, including participation in clinical trials. There is also an extensive discussion of the different types of healthcare options available, including legal and financial considerations. This potentially life-saving and life-affirming resource should be made widely available to Hispanic populations. Highly recommended.?Maria S. Macias
