SIDELIGHTS: Jeffrey T. Huber once told CA: "I began writing because of my personal and professional interest in HIV and AIDS. My intention and motivation has been to influence the body of information concerning the epidemic. I compiled and edited my dictionary because I knew that many individuals affected by HIV and AIDS did not understand the technical terms often used in discussing the illness, and to include population-specific vocabulary that has been incorporated into discussions concerning the pandemic."
