TOP REVIEWS FROM AIDS: FEAR AND HOPE
very informative, talks about the social and scientific sides of AIDS from the beginning till this present day
Best course i ever enrolled online, provided best information and proper skill needed.
Thank you Dr. Meisler for opening my eyes to this virus. I hope to do my part in breaking the stigma of a loved one having HIV/AIDS.
It was a very insightful course with a lot of valuable information. I recommend this course to anyone and everyone especially those who are sexually active.
