Book Reviews of The First Year: HIV: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)

Book Review: Author has a major conflict of interest
Summary: 2 Stars

I got this thinking it would be helpful in my job as a HIV Case Manager, was I wrong. The author has a major conflict of interest with the pharmaceutical industry and it skews his viewpoints tremendously to the detriment of the patient. The only reason I rate this at 2 stars is it is good at approaching the emotional and psychological aspects of being newly diagnosed and the stigma associated with it. Avoid any of the chapters dealing with medical treatment!
