AIDS File: What We Need to Know About AIDS Now

by George Jacobs

Description

THE AIDS FILE was one of the first & still one of the best for letting young people learn what they are up against in the AIDS dilemma. It is now available in a second, enlarged, hardcover edition. Written by a gynecologist father of 11 & a journalist, this book is used as a text in schools & colleges across the country. In a mid-1990 review, here's what the American Association for the Advancement of Science said of THE AIDS FILE in SCIENCE, BOOKS & FILMS: "...aimed at young people who are show more or will be sexually active...implications that AIDS has for the United States. The authors review the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the disease AIDS, & the means available to prevent spreading AIDS...Written in simple, graphic, journalistic style, the book is directed to the teenager or adult who wants (or needs) a direct & explicit explanation of the current AIDS situation. ...Teachers who need a book that does not preach to give to students may find this one useful." In the words of Richard L. Reece, M.D., editor MINNESOTA MEDICINE, "This clear-cut book contains everything you want to know about AIDS. Buy it, read it, pass it with praise to those at risk." show less
