Book Description
100 Questions and Answers about HIV and AIDS provides answers to the most common questions asked by people with HIV and AIDS, their partners, and their family members. Written by an internationally recognized HIV expert from Johns Hopkins University with commentary by two HIV-positive patients, this is an invaluable resource for people with HIV infection or for those who care about them. It also includes useful information for HIV-negative readers on prevention and testing. It is written in language that is easy to understand, with a touch of the humor and irreverence well known to the readers of Dr. Gallant's Patient Forum on the Johns Hopkins HIV Guide website.

news to an HIV Nurse  
This book is an excellent review material for the nurse and the patient, some physicians could probably use it too!Written by a doctor for everyone! Great stuff for patient teaching in language the average person can understand. He uses words like Yucky and stuff to describe that yucky stuff! I am an HIV RN and I learned something new from it. I'm so pleased with it that I will be using it for my educational support with my clients! Covers everything! There are no wasted questions and every answer is cross referenced to other questions! WOW! I love it!

A GREAT READ and WAY TO LEARN  
At last, a book about HIV that's tells me what I want to know, that's written by a gay guy, and that's fun to read and doesn't drag me down. I've been a regular user of Dr. G's web forum for years. It's nice to read him now, with his amusing and irreverent style, in book form (where he can concentrate on education rather than just placating or pissing off the crazies). If you've just found out you're positive, then this is the book you should read first. But I learned a lot, too, and I consider myself pretty educated on the subject. Everyone with HIV infection should read this book...and lots of other people should, too.
