5.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL READING MATERIAL, November 1, 2000

By

This review is from: 100 Questions and Answers About AIDS: What You Need to Know (Paperback)

I run a group home for young men. I bought a copy of this book and after reading it, I went out and bought 5 more copies.

This is an extremely informative and educational book for teens, adults, gays or straight people. I strongly believe that anyone who reads this book will benefit greatly from it. This book has hundreds of answers to questions about the AIDS virus, how it's spread and prevention. It includes touching interviews with people who are infected. It's a real eye opener that provides facts. The book is well written and easy to understand.

The young men in my group home have commented about what a SUPERB and EDUCATIONAL book this is. They like that the book is geared towards people of all ages, sex, race and economical backgrounds. Too bad this book isn't in schools.

I strongly recommend reading this book and passing it on to your children, family members and friends. It is worth reading and after gaining this type of knowledge, might help save lives.

It was definately worth 5 points and more......
