From Library Journal
Dr. Mathilde Krim, who wrote the introduction, and AmFAR are both trusted names in the field of AIDS, and both have put their name to Ward's new handbook. Ward, a senior medical writer for the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Ohio State University and author of The Cancer Handbook (Ohio State Univ., 1995), has written this text mainly for those with HIV/AIDS but also for public health workers, counselors, family members, and others who deal with HIV-related illness. He takes scientific concepts and brings them down to a lay level without making them simplistic. The book has three main sections: basic information about HIV/ AIDS; medical information on cells, the immune system, viruses, genes, and the history of AIDS; and a glossary and appendixes on where to get more information on the disease and its 1993 classification systems. An important resource; recommended for public and medical libraries.

With such a wealth of rhetoric and misinformation out there, a guide such as this is long overdue.
