5.0 out of 5 stars A LIFETIME EDUCATION IN ONE BOOK., May 24, 1999

By A Customer

I had the amazing opportunity to meet Scott Fried a few weeks ago at a convention. His story told through his lecture changed my life since it hit so close to home. I've had to face the challenges of coping with the loss of someone very close to me to AIDS. I had a 15 minute conversation with Scott in which he gave me so much confidence. Scott if you read this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your words and your book. I read it in one day, but I keep reading it over and over again. It's a must read for everyone to learn about how AIDS affects people. And the fact of the matter is that AIDS affects all people, whether you are positive or negative. Read this book and give it to all of your friends! I am only allowed to give it 5 stars in rating, but it's way off the charts! Thank you Scott for everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars Scott Fried...a real person, May 24, 1999

By A Customer

Scott Fried is not only an amazing person, but a real person. By this I mean, I have met Scott, at a lecture of his in Boston. I have read multiple books about AIDS and the HIV virus but being able to associate a face with the name helps so much. Scott is living proof that you can live with AIDS. His book, If I Grow Up: Talking with Teens About AIDS, Love & Staying Alive is one which I will continue to read multiple times. This is because it has real people who I can associate with, because they are closer to me in age, even though I don't have AIDS. I like this novel and reccomend it to any person living in a world where there is a sickness called AIDS, meaning everyone.
