You're the First One I've Told offers indispensable insight into the ways that large-scale social forces shape the lives of--and become<br>embodied by--those facing AIDS. <br>--Paul Farmer (05/29/2012)

Expertly linking patients' pasts to their current struggles to obtain health care and support, the stories related here contextualize AIDS within the lived experiences of the poor and marginalized communities that bear the greatest burden of HIV in the American South. This book offers indispensable insight into the ways that large-scale social forces shape the lives of those facing AIDS. --Paul Farmer Kolokotrones University Professor, Harvard University (07/18/2012)

The South has been the epicenter of the U.S. HIV epidemic for the last decade, and the authors have used a balanced set of information from both surveys and personal observations to present a poignant and accessible portrait of the complexities of human health and disease. --John A. Bartlett MD, Duke Global Health Institute (03/01/2012)
