Customer Reviews

Moving and informative book on AIDS

This books gives a unique view of people of all types and walks of life struggling with AIDS. Dr. Klitzman has brought out an honesty in these people that is both moving and uplifting. A wonderful and important book.

Positive Attitude

A very good read for positive and negative people, although the research and interviews were done in America, it is all equally relevant to the Australian community and elsewhere in the world. Dr Klitzman does not forget that every statistic has a human face behind it and a story that is as important as any ever told. I look forward to reading more from this author !.
