Reviews
This is a revised edition of the widely praised, comprehensive handbook and reference for people living with HIV infection and their families, friends, and caregivers ( LJ 7/91). It remains an outstanding mainstream resource. Reflecting the epidemiology of the spread of HIV infection in society, this revised edition, which carries the title page imprimatur "developed at the Johns Hopkins AIDS Clinic," gives more attention to HIV and women, HIV and tuberculosis, and some newer drugs and their side effects. Still, a close comparison of the texts reveals only minor changes with little compelling reason to replace editions. Libraries requiring the most current HIV/AIDS information are dependent on the serial and electronic literature in this fast and ever-changing research field.

Softcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. "The Guide to Living with HIV Infection is first and foremost a coping book - medically reliable, comprehensive, marvelously human. It is for all people affected by the diagnosis of HIV infection; for patients and caregivers, for families and friends. "The book is about how to live with HIV infection," the authors write, "that is, how to live as long and full and satisfying a life as possible."" "In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, John G. Bartlett, M.D., director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and science writer Ann Finkbeiner offer straightforward advice to help people deal with the medical and emotional problems HIV infection presents: what to do when first diagnosed; how to prevent transmission; the physical and emotional effects of HIV infection; HIV-associated dementia; options for medical care; financial and legal concerns; and what to do when feeling sick - and when feeling well." "New to this edition are detailed discussions of the effectiveness, availability, and side effects of new drugs; HIV and women; recent data on CD4 cell counts; updated information on the transmission of HIV; revised definitions of the stages of infection; the new form of tuberculosis; and the facts about opportunistic infections."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
