(More customer reviews)Written by Wendy Holmes for the International Rescue Committee, Protecting The Future: HIV Prevention, Care And Support Among Displaced And War-Affected Populations is unfortunate but extremely necessary resource for the twenty-first century, as it presents both short and long-term consequences of the ravages of HIV/AIDS among the globe's populations and exhorts strategies for preventing and containing the spread of this deadly virus. Practical ideas for motivating behavior change, promoting improved sexual health, preventing the transmission of the virus from mothers to children and more fill this welcome and much needed contribution to health and medicine reference shelves. Protecting The Future is seminal, necessary, and highly recommended.
