HIV/AIDS is not "over with." Neither does it infect only those on the margins of society. One quarter of the Americans who are HIV-positive do not know it; many have no idea how they could have contracted the disease. Africans and Asians receive more and better care for HIV/AIDS than Americans. Consultant Hunter relates these facts and figures as would any expert, but unlike others she consider how Americans are becoming infected as the result of government policies about prisons, the global sex trade, pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs, medical care for inner-city poor, basic support services for those infected and public school sex education. Hunter centers her riveting narrative on a white middle-class family and other innocents affected by HIV/AIDS and shows how a government that turned away from its own people in essence tainted them. This is essential reading, particularly for those who think they will never be infected. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
