About this title

Reviews

Grade 7 Up-Following a general introduction, four chapters subdivided into six to eight essays, arguments, or articles present varying viewpoints on a highly charged subject. The volume covers the state of the global epidemic, HIV testing, the spread of the disease, and treatment. Each chapter opens with a preface and questions to consider and concludes with a bibliography of periodical articles. Opinions on partner notification, treating pregnant women and infants with AZT, and needle-exchange programs are among the topics addressed. A few articles date back to 1997, which could cloud the issue of currency in a field that is rapidly changing. Black-and-white graphs, charts, cartoons, and drawings are interspersed throughout the text. Questions for further discussion by chapter follow the body of the text along with contact information for a number of organizations.
