interesting factual literature

[Guest DrCreampie]

Hi – just wondering if anyone can recommend some good literature on the subjects of HIV, Aids, and barebacking. I mean factual books that offer a proficient overview/summary of contemporary scientific ideas and arguments. I’ve been told about a few, including The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS and How to Survive a Plague: The Story of How Activists and Scientists Tamed AIDS (although I’ve no idea if they’re any good).

I tend to read academic journal articles, and most articles often view full-length books (especially “popular” books) with scorn, so I’m unfamiliar with the relevant literature.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
