The Textbook Edition:


Understanding and Preventing AIDS: A Book for Everyone, 2nd Edition, also called the Textbook Edition, is a one-volume compendium. The Textbook Edition's Table of Contents is listed below. How to Order information is listed below as well. Unfortunately, the contents of this edition are not on-line at this time.

Although some the epidemiological information has changed, the majority of the information it contains is still of interest to the serious student of HIV, or those who are personally or professional affected by HIV/AIDS.


The book is more than a presentation of available knowledge. Jennings discusses alternative opinions regarding the interpretations of findings. Also, to his credit, the author addresses pertinent variant views on social issues while maintaining a non-biased attitude . . . because the book exists to as much to guide the reader in interpreting information as to present information, its usefulness will not diminish over time

The book begins with background chapters that help lay readers better understand subsequent AIDS-specific chapters. These discussions cover sex and sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, and relevant human biology and physiology. The AIDS-specific chapters provide comprehensive coverage of a range of concepts: transmission; prevention; opportunistic infections; treatment; psychological issues; death; and broader issues such as the socioogy and epidemiology of AIDS; the relationship between AIDS and the law; and the impact of AIDS on medicine....Each chapter contains a sufficiently complete discussion of its topic to be read and understood out of context.
