"AIDS and the Law is an invaluable resource for advocates representing
people living with HIV/AIDS. It is comprehensive in scope, yet entirely
thorough with detailed analysis of the most prevalent legal issues and useful
practice pointers. As a first-year public service attorney, I cannot express
how much this manual has aided me in providing quality legal advice to my
clients as well as in streamlining my research."
