About this title

Review

"All About AIDS is a monumental discourse on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome which covers a variety of related topics in considerable detail...thoughtful content...For the AIDS related organization that seeks one volume that attempts to tell all' this is an attractive book. The book is beautifully written." -Christopher K. Whitney of Education and Prevention Services, The National Hemophilia foundation

Synopsis

Misinformed and unsupported speculations about AIDS have usurped the place of reason in the public understanding of this, our most controversial epidemic. The purpose of this book is to present the large body of information concerning AIDS in a carefully ordered and objective manner in the hope that this will remove fear from victim and potential victim alike. By preventing hysteria in the face of the AIDS epidemic, this work will point the way toward a level-headed agenda for the prevention of further spread. "All About AIDS" presents important biological, medical, and social facts regarding the AIDS epidemic. The book also furnishes the current information about transmission, symptoms and treatment, as well as methods of prevention. The discussions aim to be easily understood by the general reader, making this an interesting textbook for students of health and sociology, and a useful reference for those with the AIDS virus infection and all scientific, medical and technical personnel.
