Acknowledgments

This book owes a lot of its substance and spirit to the following people, who supplied information, answered endless questions, and read and reread drafts. We are grateful to Dr.

Joel Gallant, director of the Moore Clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital, for medical advice and for referring us to his extremely articulate patients; to both Linda Apuzzo, clinical research coordinator, and Jo Leslie, inpatient coordinator of the AIDS Service at Johns Hopkins Hospital, for highly informed advice on the social and emotional perspectives of the people who are their patients and the audience of this book; to Meg Garrett, senior attorney at the Johns Hopkins Health System, for advice and information on legal, financial, and insurance matters; to Susan Rucker, social worker and supervisor, Infectious Diseases, at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, for information on insurance matters and on the social service system and for advice on the emotional, familial, and social concerns of people with HIV infection; and to Heidi Hutton, psychologist, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, for advice on the changing feelings and problems of people with HIV infection.

We are especially grateful to the people with HIV infection themselves, and to their caregivers, who told us with intelligence and in detail how to persist in living well.

We are also grateful to Jackie Wehmueller for close and concerned editing, for her unflappability, and for her iron fist in the velvet glove— especially for the velvet glove.

We thank, particularly, Jean Bartlett and Cal Walker.
