AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases: An Educational Guide for Professionals and the Public is a compelling exploration of how disease affects and "devalues" populations in our society. Mr. Powell, and expert in HIV and AIDS awareness and related public health policy, presents this important resource as a viable way to explain the "system" of disease progression and control and the complicated terms and protocols that dictate AIDS and HIV treatment, education, and social policy. With extensive appendixes and illustrative models, this fundamental handbook demystifies complicated medical language, discusses new or alternative treatments, and provides insight and direction for HIV-prevention education and counseling infected clients.

You hope, of course, to never need such a reference, but with millions of people testing positive, it's crucial to have a comprehensive source of reliable information. Whether you are ill, know someone who's infected or just want to stay informed, Powell's guide is a valuable summation of the nature of the disease, its transmission, testing, treatments and available resources. Especially for a topic so laden with fear and prejudice, it's essential to have such an intelligent, lucid text.
Review
With the growing incidence of HIV infection (especially among teenagers), the need for education becomes increasingly crucial if we are to stop this terrible killer from annihilating our communities and our families. Josh Powell's AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases is a concise collection of the most current information concerning all known means of HIV transmission, their different levels of risk, as well as effective means of preventing or minimizing transmission. AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases covers all aspects of HIV testing, its effectiveness, and who should be tested. AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases surveys both the physical and mental effects of AIDS on patients, the progression of the disease, and the numerous drugs used to impede its progress. AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases offers helpful, common-sense guidance for professionals who treat or counsel HIV-positive clients or AIDS patients. AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases will demystify this modern scourge, and in doing so, help to overcome one of its worst symptoms -- fear of the unknown. AIDS and HIV-Related Diseases should be on the lending shelf of every medical clinic, doctor's office, school and community library throughout the country. -- Midwest Book Review
