Essential AIDS Reading

In The AIDS Dictionary, Sarah Barbara Watstein and Karen Chadler have compiled essential definitions of terms relating to the AIDS community. Anyone involved in the AIDS community---those who are HIV+, medical practitioners, educators, artists, activists---should have this reference readily available. This is also an excellent introductory reference for those who are just learning about AIDS and HIV. It should be available in libraries, schools, clinics, hospitals, AIDS Service Organizations, outreach programs, needle exchanges, and every other location where people need comprehensive access to the extensive vocabulary of AIDS. The only drawback to the dictionary is the continual changes in AIDS vocabulary. It needs to be updated regularly.
