There is still a great deal to learn about HIV and AIDS even though there have been a multitude of books and articles on the subjects. There are still many gaps in our knowledge of the disease and these gaps have profound implications for our capacity to act. Prevention is still the battle cry since there is no vaccine or cure. We still have a long ways to go to understand the sexuality of mankind that makes them practice unsafe sex. The social and political aspects of AIDS and HIV have affected every living person through funding to fight the disease to constant articles proclaiming progress and no progress in our attempt to find a cure to the disease being damnation on the gay community. This small book attempts to point out much that has been learned and advises us on things that need to be learned. A recommended book for all academic libraries.
