AIDS in America by Susan Hunter and Alan Cumming
Aids in America gives shocking yet frightening statistics on how and where our society is headed.
We also get to read life altering stories of those suffering from HIV and how it has impacted their lives and their families lives.
Hunter explains and gives information on how the Bush administration and abstinence only teaching has essentially set us back years when it comes to curtailing the HIV epidemic.
You will be outraged, angry, disappointed and shocked at how the very people in American that should be protecting are causing more harm then good to individuals who have HIV and those who will get it.
If you are an uber christian or hard core republican you might be offended by what is this book but it speaks the truth loud and clear. I know this because my degree is in Community Health and I did extensive studies on HIV, STDS and infectious diseases.
Be prepared to get a tiny and scary glimpse at where out society is headed and keep in mind that there are undeveloped countries that have their HIV epidemic in better control than here in America due to bureaucratic bullsh*t.
This book might just push you to cry out for a change in the way we treat our fellow citizens who are infected. Some innocently and some by bad choices, bad choices you may have made but were lucky enough to come out unscathed or are you?
Please, if you haven't yet, I plead with you to find out your HIV status and take responsible measures to protect yourself and others.
