Senior Reviewer – Midwest Book Review

Understanding and Preventing AIDS defines the symptoms and signs of HIV infection, the HIV virus, HIV incubation period, HIV transmission, and HIV/AIDS prevention


Author, Chris Jennings, excels at writing scientific books precise enough for medical professionals but easy to read for the average person.

A former Massachusetts-certified teacher of Biology at Boston Public Schools with a degree in Biology from Harvard, Chris Jennings currently services the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and analytical industries as a freelance writer in addition to writing and publishing books about HIV/AIDS.

Understanding and Preventing AIDS describes in explicit biological detail how HIV is transmitted via sexual and non-sexually activities. The book is easy-to-read for anyone of sexually active age.

The book answers virtually any question one might have concerning HIV/AIDS by describing the virus, how it infects the blood cells, the biological mechanics of transmission, where the virus is found in the human body, and how the virus can be transmitted from one person to another. The book also describes in explicit biological detail why HIV can not be transmitted by insects or by casual contact.

And much more . . . !

HIV/AIDS Education in High Schools, Universities, Hospitals (Patient Education & Staff Education), and Health Care Agencies


In previous editions, Understanding and Preventing AIDS was adopted for staff education by Massachusetts General Hospital (the hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School), Walter Reed Army Medical Institute, other world-renowned hospitals; innumerable city and state health agencies; and adopted as a textbook at colleges, nursing schools, and public health schools, sold in medical bookstores, and used in high schools for sex education.

 

“This book pulls no punches . . . …the author has done an excellent job in assembling an up-to-date, readable book for adolescents and others of the general public who lack a strong scientific background . . . Understanding and Preventing AIDS belongs in the school library.”
