This reference book offers a sound nutritional model for sustaining and improving quality of life for HIV positive men and women.

Definitely a must have book! 
This book helps affected/infected individual understand the nutritional needs of the body and also goes on to describe many other aspects of HIV. This book is definitely a must have for HIV+ individuals and caregivers/supporters.

A must read for those with HIV & for their support system.
Dr.Romeyn has addressed one of the most serious problems facing people with HIV, the devastating bodily wasting that occurs in those struggling with the effects of this disease. Her work is a comprehensive approach to nutritional treatment. She is articulate and yet not patronizing. Her concern and compassion for those who suffer from this dissease is quite apparent. I believe those who see her in her private practice are most fortunate. I am grateful for her work, and have given copies of this book to several men and women both in the parish and in the community at large.There is a great need in the larger community for this quality of information. I highly recommend it.

Good book, but... 
This is an informative book. However, it did not meet my expectations.It even gets boring sometimes. However, it is a good book to have if you are interested in learning more about vitamins and minerals, and their effect with HIV/AIDS.

excellent for physician, patient, or friend
I found this book to be an excellent resource to provide both an overview of the HIV/AIDS disease process, and to help formulate a plan for one's management and care. As a third year medical student, I am often presented with only the pathology and epidemiology of a disease or illness, and left to invision the person afflicted on my own. Dr. Romeyn helped to put a face on both the person/patient affected, as well as the physician actively caring for them. In addition, she still managed to convey the essentials that anyone - physician, patient, or friend - should know and understand. This is a very helpful book.
