Anyone with an interest in research on HIV/AIDS, its impact on recent popular culture, and how it has been represented in film throughout its brief but significant history in the United States will likely get something out of this book. It's a succinct discussion of how HIV/AIDS has been talked about -- and talked around -- and how attitudes have changed, as have the themes of HIV/AIDS films, since the mid-1980s. Definitely worth a read -- and would likely be a benefit to anyone needing a reference book on such a topic. Very informative!
