She also explores the impact of the virus on family members, friends, and caregivers; their strategies for dealing with HIV are identified as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book has two unique features. First, the creative coping strategies developed to deal with HIV are explored primarily through the words of those living and\/or working with the virus. O'Brien utilized more than 350 hours of tape-recorded interviews to glean the insightful and poignant anecdotes which describe their walk with HIV. Second, the HIV-positive individuals described are long-term survivors of the virus. Although that population consists primarily of gay men, the case is made that they are the first group of people with HIV to experience long-term survival; thus, their coping strategies and those of the people close to them provide a model for others moving into the survivor category. An important resource for nurses, social workers, chaplains, others in fields working with HIV\/AIDs patients, and their families and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217333571928,"sku":"9780865692473","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aids-challenge","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
