Very useful information for everyone by J. Dreisbach (Allentown, PA)  5 Stars
October 18, 2008
This book is targeted at those individuals diagnosed as HIV positive, but it is so much more than that. This is valuable information for friends, families, and loved ones to have to understand what a loved one is experiencing now or may experience in the future. It is well written by a physician in language that everyone can understand. It includes information that cover all areas of life--not just physical health, but mental health, relationships, sexual activity. I highly recommend this for professionals working in the health care field on any level.

news to an HIV Nurse by Ms. (Aledo, TX. USA) 5 Stars
April 11, 2008
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 by Joaquim Claveria 5 Stars
February 07, 2008
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.

Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. In the developing world, especially in parts of Africa, life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, causing a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp increase in orphans, and the imminent collapse of...
