Reviews
'An informative read.', Heaton-Harris offers sound advice.', 'The author has achieved her goal in making the book accessible by all.' InSite, Online Youth Media Magazine After reading this myself I left it lying around for my teenager to read too as I felt it was appropriate. (just in case). The book explains each disease , how it affects you, how you are tested - which is actually quite interesting and not something I had considered. Treatment and how you can protect yourself. The summing up section is also really good. The book discusses what affects this could have if you are pregnant and what effects it can have on the baby. I found the section on what happens at a GU clinic interesting as I imagined all sorts of things about it. All in all I found this a very interesting and informative book.' Totz2teens.co.uk
