A great resource for anyone diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and the people
who care about them.."--Library Journal, March 2012
"Over more than thirty years of the HIV epidemic...nurses have
played an irreplaceable role in patient care, education, and
support. Here's to Rose and Maithe, nurses who walk the walk every
day; then go beyond the clinic to research and publish. What Nurses

POWER! HIV can stop with us one step at a time." --Deanna L. Hayes,
HIV Peer Educator and Patient Advocate, Truman Medical Center,
Hospital Hill, Kansas City, MO
"Everyone should read this book! It is definitely not just for the
HIV-positive individual. Anyone who reads it will benefit, and it
is written in a way that is very easy to understand. This book

book, they may begin to realize HIV/AIDS is, after all, a 'human'
condition that does not discriminate." --Patricia "Trish" Steen,
HIV Peer Educator and Patient Advocate, Truman Medical Center,
Hospital Hill, Kansas City, MO

self-care [and then] we are diluted by the deluge of facts and
recommendations. The ether of our innocence fades into time and so
shall we follow. Comes
