Builds on the success of the first edition by updating and adding critical information that will help the newly diagnosed adjust to their illness and the long-term survivor improve their life and supplement their foundation of HIV knowledge. In addition, new and useful topics have been added including the most complete medication information for even the latest medications to hit the market.
In its updated and expanded second edition, this helpful guide offers a wealth of information for people living with HIV and for people caring for HIV-positive loved ones. All aspects of HIV/AIDS are discussed, including opportunistic and associated infections, dental care, exercise and nutrition, substance use and abuse and emotional treatment. New information will help the newly diagnosed adjust to their illness and long-term survivors to improve their quality of life. Up-to-date discussion of the latest medications covers the growing practice of using HIV drugs as preventatives. Essential Internet resources are provided that help patients live a longer, healthier life.
