The Book


Living in the Heartland

This 208-page book chronicles the lives of people living with and impacted by HIV/AIDS throughout the Midwest. The intimate stories reveal an exceptionally diverse demographic from an eleven-state region including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. "Taken as a whole," writes the Chicago Tribune, "they offer a remarkable testament of how HIV has invaded and changed whole communities." Nearly 20,000 copies of both first and second editions have been distributed nationally.

Copies of the second edition of The Faces of AIDS: Living in the Heartland are currently available for $17.25 each, including shipping and handling. To order a copy, please contact Michael Hunter, Project Coordinator, Chicago Department of Public Health.
