4.0 out of 5 starsComprehensive. Everything you might & might not want to know
By A Customer on December 1, 1998
Format: Hardcover
As someone only recently becoming interested in HIV this book covered alot of ground, including the medical course of the disease, the emotional effects on those with the infection and those caring for people with it and legal matters. Designed more as a manual, where certain chapters can be skipped if not relative to a persons needs, it's structure still led easily from one section to the next. Accounts from people living with the virus and their cargivers add a human touch which can be associated with by almost anyone. A very good book for anyone coming in blind to the subject. Interesting, thought provoking and intellegent...

5.0 out of 5 starsHighly recommended!
By A Customer on September 10, 2003
Format: Paperback
As a PWA (Person living with AIDS) and a professional that works in the private Social Services sector specializing in HIV/AIDS patient care, I highly recommend this book!
This book can function as both a personal and/or professional guide to the disease, the services and benefits that someone living with HIV/AIDS may qualify for, and a general overview of some of the drugs and treatment options.
This book is also a wonderful tool to give to friends and family should someone living with HIV/AIDS choose to disclose their Sero-status.
Highly recommended without any reservation!

5.0 out of 5 starsEssential reading for anyone infected with HIV
By A Customer on June 19, 1998
Format: Paperback
This up-to-date 1998 book is absolutely essential reading for anyone with HIV or AIDS. The book not only addresses the medical aspects of this virus, but also such issues as understanding and communicating about HIV, how to deal with HIV's possible effects on the body, insuarance and HIV and guidance for making legal, financial and medical decisions. No book written prior to 1998 offers current enough information about this virus. For this year, this book can serve as a vital referenc manual for those with HIV or those who love someone with HIV.

4.0 out of 5 starsWhen the fourth edition of The Guide to Living with ...
By TWISTED1 on April 5, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
When the fourth edition of The Guide to Living with HIV Infection was published in 1998, the effects of the new drugs against HIV were only beginning to be appreciated. Since that time, rates of hospitalization, serious illness, and death have dropped by 60 to 80 percent and have stayed down. Several years ago, one young woman with no remaining immune system had made the decision, despite her odds, to be kept alive artificially; she now lives a healthy life, has a near-normal immune system, and, for the last three years, has had no detectable HIV. Her world, and the world for most people affected by HIV infection, is radically changed.

In this new edition of their acclaimed guide, Dr. John Bartlett, director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and science writer Ann Finkbeiner thoroughly update their discussion of the disease, from the evolving issue of when to start treatment to the new and sophisticated tests for the response to treatment, for the state of the immune system, and for HIV's resistance to various drugs. They describe these drugs' unanticipated side effects, among which are changes in peoples' appearances and increases in the lipid levels of their blood. They offer advice on adhering to the drugs' regimen--a regimen so strict and demanding that even AIDS doctors, in trials using placebos, failed it. And they explain the medical strategies by which the levels of HIV can be pushed down to an undetectable level and made to stay there.
