Bartlett J.G., Finkbeiner A.K.. The Guide to Living with HIV Infection: Developed at the Johns Hopkins AIDS Clinic. Johns Hopkins University Press,2006. — 407 p.. 2006

HIV infection puts extraordinary stresses on people’s lives. Most of these stresses are unusual, and people are unsure how to handle them. This book guides people through HIV infection, lets them know what they’re up against, and helps them deal thoroughly and positively with the med­ical and emotional problems the infection presents. The book is about how to live with HIV infection, that is, how to live a long and full and satisfying life. This book will cover the parts of people’s lives that HIV infection affects: their physical health, their emotional health and social difficul­ties, and their financial and legal problems. Sometimes these issues will be kept separate—one chapter is only about medical care, one only about financial and legal problems. Sometimes the issues will be merged — the chapter on what to do when first diagnosed covers both medical and emotional issues.
