With so much misinformation about HIV/AIDS, it's important to read a book by someone who deals with the disease everyday and knows exactly what he is talking about. Dr. Savitch has written a book with compassion and understanding about a subject that many people still consider taboo. To think that he is being alarmist or dramatic is irresponsible and unrealistic. This is an important book. Every person who reads it will surely make changes in his/her behavior and have HIV testing whether or not he/she is in a "risk" group (as Dr. Savitch points we are all in a risk group). If enough of us read this book, perhaps we can force the recreation of a functioning public health system. Thank you, Dr. Savitch. Dr. Savitch is not simply crying "The Sky is Falling". In addition to this incredibly informative book, he is an infectious disease specialist with 20 years of experience-devoted to caring for HIV/AIDS patients. He knows his subject very well. I think alot of us have been misled by the media into believing that HIV is basically a homosexual issue and that there is a cure that will soon be available. The truth is that we are not even close to a cure. 50% of all reported new cases are women and the statistics of minorities and inner city reported cases are staggering. As of the October 3rd, 2000...HIV is still not reported in California as a 'contagious disease' to the Public Health Department. There is currently a bill up before the Calfornia State Legislature that, if passed, would jail any physician who reports an HIV patient to the Public Health Department. How ludicrous is this. All reported cases now are a consequence of a 10 year delay that follows contracting the HIV virus. In that 10 year period of time, people of all sexual predispositions that are infected with the virus are basically walking around as 'loaded weapons'. Dr. Savitch is advocating mandatory testing for the purpose of performing counseling and doing 'contact tracing'. His call appears idealistic at first. Upon further inspection it is easy to see that if only 20% of the population is able to curtial sexual activity upon notification of carrying the virus- then we will have the time we need to continue to work and find a cure. The Nutcracker is Still Dancing... is a startling account and update of the situation and should be required reading at the primary and secondary grade level. You should read this book.
