Maybe this book doesn't get much attention outside of McQuaid, but hey Mr. Turk, you da man. APE forever. word up.
Enlightening book.......2000-11-04
My eyes were opened wide to the horrors and cruelty of Communism in Hungary. Why do we not learn of this in our history classes? This is a story that needed to be told. The author tells his story in an open, honest way. You come away from this book with a sense of the author's love of his family, his faith, and the spirit to endure, making the book wonderful to read.

Book Description
This book is an attempt to relate the wonderful biblical truths about the possibility of having a living, personal relationship with God. This truth comes down through the entire history of the Christian faith, as well as in the Bible. Yet there is very little teaching or promotion of this truth in organized religion.
This lack of a presentation of the message of God as our Father results in a corresponding lack of power and freedom for effective daily living in the Christian community. Sadly, many people in religious organizations (not to mention people outside the religious system) doubt if a personal relationship with God is even possible. This is even sadder when we consider the Bible is very clear on this point.
The Bible tells us that a personal relationship with God as our Father is not only possible but this relationship is God's greatest desire for us. It is Bill Landon's hope that this book will be an encouragement for those people who seek a spiritual life that has more practical impact on their daily living. For those who wish to explore the possibilities of a greater peace and fullness in their living, this book can be a help.

Book Description
"This book is a 'must read' for those interested in the prevention of HIV transmission. It has enough breadth to provide a general overview of 'prevention with positives' and enough detail to satisfy and educate those already working in this area. Clinicians who want to develop or refine their approaches to counseling patients with HIV will find this book valuable." (Gary Marks, PhD.,
New England Journal of Medicine, August 4, 2005)
The CDC has made a revision in their philosophy underlying recommended prevention techniques to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. The new approach focuses on "positive prevention", that is, prevention among people living with HIV/AIDS. This important distinction has resulted in the need to reexamine the behaviors around HIV transmission and the approaches to prevention when working within this diverse population.
Positive Prevention is a timely volume containing the latest contributions from the top scholars in the field on preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. Issues covered include unprotected sex with HIV-positive gay and bisexual men; issues around whether disclosure leads to safer sex; mental health and HIV with young adults; the impact of HIV diagnosis on sexual risk behaviors; interventions in community settings; and more. There is also a important chapter on international perspectives on "positive prevention".
This volume will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for all professionals working in the field of HIV / AIDS prevention.

Positive Cooking is a cookbook and nutrition guide for people living with HIV. "A nutritionally sound diet can play an important role in helping a person living with HIV disease improve or maintain health," say the authors, two of whom are dieticians who have counseled and fed people with HIV and AIDS. They explore the relationship between nutrition and the immune system and discuss nutritional needs specific to HIV, such as preventing body wasting and enhancing the body's ability to fight opportunistic infections.
Positive Cooking starts with 63 pages of valuable information, including how to use diet to help alleviate HIV symptoms, with specific foods to eat and avoid for particular symptoms, such as chewing and swallowing difficulties, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, and nausea. Part II presents 187 hearty and healthy recipes, such as Artichoke Eggs with Herbs, Hot Pumpkin Cereal, Sweet Potato Biscuits, Apple Pie à la Mode Shake, Raspberry Rice Smoothie, Chicken Soup, Couscous Shrimp Salad, Easy Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Loaf, and Zucchini Chocolate Cake. Handy charts match recipes with symptoms. Each recipe contains cooking time, modifications for specific symptoms, and nutritional information--calories, fat, carbohydrate, and protein. This is a valuable and empowering resource. --Joan Price

Book Description
For individuals living with HIV, stress can have a critical impact on emotional and physical well-being. Many HIV-infected individuals feel a loss of control over their lives, experience social isolation, and may suffer from anxiety and depression. Stress has been shown to decrease immune functioning, which is a significant concern for HIV-infected individuals. Written by the developer of the treatment, this manual presents an empirically supported, group treatment program that teaches HIV-infected individuals how to manage their stress. This comprehensive Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) program combines stress management with relaxation training. Each group meeting introduces a new relaxation method, such as progressive muscle relaxation, imagery, and meditation. Stress management skills build on one another and include cognitive restructuring, coping strategies, and establishing a strong social network. By the end of the program, participants are equipped with a variety of inter-related techniques that they can use to reduce stress and improve their quality of life. The guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding workbook, which provides exercises to be completed in session, monitoring forms, and homework assignments. Together they include all the material and information needed to effectively implement this program.
Book Description
Winner of the 1992 American Medical Writers' Association Book Award
When the third edition of The Guide to Living with HIV was published in 1996, the best hope for people with HIV infection or AIDS was treatment with drugs like AZT, to which HIV soon became resistant. In just three years, however, dramatic new treatments have emerged which all but eliminate HIV in the bloodstream. "In my twenty-five years of medical practice," writes Dr. John Bartlett with cautious optimism, "no other breakthrough has translated so quickly to palpable health."
In this fourth edition, Dr. Bartlett, director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and science writer Ann Finkbeiner update their widely acclaimed guide in light of developments that have transformed the way we think about treating HIV and AIDS. They describe the breakthrough in understanding how HIV reproduces which pointed to new strategies to track the infection and suppress the virus. They explain the importance of the "viral load" test to measure the amount of HIV in the blood and more accurately gauge a person's response to treatments. And they discuss the remarkable results of using new AZT-class drugs in combination with newly developed protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The combination of these three classes of drugs virtually stops HIV, drastically reducing the virus's numbers and ability to become resistant, while allowing immune cells to rebound.
The authors emphasize the importance of receiving this good news cautiously, since no one knows what the long-term health consequences of taking these powerful drugs might be, or whether the virus will once again develop resistance. Treatment, they explain, is far from easy: most people require at least three different kinds of pills (or "triple therapy"), for a total of up to 20 pills a day. The side effects are difficult, treatment costs between $10,000 and $12,000 a year, and new stresses accompany the uncertainty about long-term effectiveness. Despite the need for caution, the fourth edition of The Guide to Living with HIV Infection explains how to help ensure the effectiveness of the new treatments and, for those for whom the treatments don't work, how to remain well as long as possible. The book remains the most complete resource of its kind for people with HIV and AIDS and for their families and friends.
New to this edition:
* Detailed discussions of new drugs and how they must be administered in order to be effective
* Updated information on the transmission of HIV
* Information about new tests for HIV, including home kits and tests using saliva and urine
* Discussion of the importance of tracking "viral load" and CD4 cell count
* New tables, showing prognosis according to CD4 count, and drugs used to treat or prevent wasting
* New information on opportunistic infections
* Advice on how to live with uncertainty
* New guidelines for choosing physicians
* Updated resources, including addresses for websites
Customer Reviews:
Highly recommended!.......2003-09-10
As a PWA (Person living with AIDS) and a professional that works in the private Social Services sector specializing in HIV/AIDS patient care, I highly recommend this book!
This book can function as both a personal and/or professional guide to the disease, the services and benefits that someone living with HIV/AIDS may qualify for, and a general overview of some of the drugs and treatment options.
This book is also a wonderful tool to give to friends and family should someone living with HIV/AIDS choose to disclose their Sero-status.
Highly recommended without any reservation!
Good, but dry............2003-02-13
I agree with most of what the other reviewers are saying, but I found it a bit dry, and somewhat frightening if anyone reading it was just diagnosed with HIV; flipping through it can fill you with "doom and gloom".....
Excellent and thorough.......1999-07-13
An excellent guide which explains how HIV is transmitted, evaluates available treatment and prevention, provides counsel on coping with the emotional effects of the infection, and addresses financial and legal concerns. New to this revised and updated edition are detailed discussions of new drugs, special considerations for women, and recent data on CF4 cell counts and viral load.
Comprehensive. Everything you might & might not want to know.......1998-12-01
As someone only recently becoming interested in HIV this book covered alot of ground, including the medical course of the disease, the emotional effects on those with the infection and those caring for people with it and legal matters. Designed more as a manual, where certain chapters can be skipped if not relative to a persons needs, it's structure still led easily from one section to the next. Accounts from people living with the virus and their cargivers add a human touch which can be associated with by almost anyone. A very good book for anyone coming in blind to the subject. Interesting, thought provoking and intellegent...
Essential reading for anyone infected with HIV.......1998-06-20
This up-to-date 1998 book is absolutely essential reading for anyone with HIV or AIDS. The book not only addresses the medical aspects of this virus, but also such issues as understanding and communicating about HIV, how to deal with HIV's possible effects on the body, insuarance and HIV and guidance for making legal, financial and medical decisions. No book written prior to 1998 offers current enough information about this virus. For this year, this book can serve as a vital referenc manual for those with HIV or those who love someone with HIV.
