This review is from: AIDS Update 2005 (AIDS Update: An Annual Overview of Acquired Immune) (Paperback)

i used this book as my textbook for my Understanding AIDS class, a pre-requisite for the degree i'm pursuing in college.

this book is well-written, in plain terms. it gives you more then the cold, hard facts. personal stories, emotions, and the author's take on issues concerning being HIV+ and living with AIDS.

this book isn't dry at all, rather a book that really helps you think about how you can make a difference, and how to give respect and dignity to those who are living with AIDS or HIV.

Bought this book as a mandatory book for school. It was fairly interesting, not that it mattered. It was a general Ed class, so not the field I majored in.
