Reviews
"What continues to set this book above the fray is its emphasis on self-management, and its authors’ affirmation that a person with HIV must and can take control of his or her own illness and treatment." —Patricia Gale, blogcritics.org
"Usually, when I’ve finished reading a self-help book, I’ve passed it along to others or donated it to the library, knowing that I would never use it again. Not Living a Healthy Life with HIV—this one gets a permanent place of prominence on my bookshelf. If you are living with HIV, it should be on yours also." —Hank Trout, aumag.org
