Description: "This is a book about how to live with HIV infection," the authors wrote in 1991, "that is, how to live as long and full and satisfying a life as possible." That first edition of The Guide to Living with HIV infection was immediately acclaimed as a comprehensive and reliable resource that presented current medical knowledge in a compassionate and readable form. In this third edition, Dr. John G. Bartlett, director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and science writer Ann Finkbeiner remain true to their original purpose while offering the very latest medical findings and advice. This thoroughly revised and updated edition explains how HIV is transmitted, describes and evaluates prevention and available treatment, offers advice on coping with the emotional effects of the infection, and addresses financial and legal concerns.
