The Real Enemy in the Fight Against AIDS shows the challenges for patients facing the treatment for all strategies. Bibi has exposed some of the problems hindering a strategy and suggested plans for the way forward.

As a dermatologist with many years’ experience, Bibi came face to face with the early cases of AIDS before treatment became readily available, but she was fortunate to be involved with a program that established management centres in Tanzania through the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI). This program made her aware how complex management and control measures for HIV and AIDS are. She also realised that after more than 30 years of planning to eliminate the pandemic, the situation remains a major challenge and stakeholders need to go back to the drawing board with new ideas and new strategies, which she hopes this book will stimulate.

About the Author

Dr. Elizabeth Kwigema Mwanukuzi is a retired dermatologist. She was born in Nzega, a village northwest of Tanzania, where she spent her early years, but her late father was a teacher so they moved around the country quite a lot at various schools wherever her father’s teaching duties took him. Her medical training was at University of Dar-es Salaam, then Austria, for dermatology. Her working life has been in Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

Dr. Mwanukuzi has two wonderful daughters, who have been part of this project right from the beginning, with her older daughter, Iku, giving the title for the book, and the younger, Noela, who wrote the beautiful poem at the beginning of the book. Her grandchildren, Chuma (9) and Subira (6), keep her busy, but when they are at school Bibi enjoys gardening and reading.

Reviews

I would llike to give some of my reflections on your book on AIDS which I finished last week.
I found it an attractive book to read as it was based on personal experience. The language was concrete and down to earth with frequent references to major political leaders and key experts in various world health organizations.
I thought it could be easily accessible to the educated public while remaining firmly based on the latest scientific findings. While there are frequent references to competent authors, the references are mostly from current public statements or recent world conferences. There were no heavy academic quotations from learned journals in a technical language. This, I think, this makes it an attractive read.
The main theme is that the AIDS problem is not just a medical one but is a phenomenon deeply inserted into the socio-political environment in which we live, so that the deeper issues of lifestyle and social conditions play a vital role in trying to come to grips with the pervasive problems caused by AIDS.
There are many means of tackling the overall problems of substantial percentages of the population infected by the virus. Each of which has a role to play in an overall policy in finding a solution to the problem. There is no quick fix or purely medical answer.
I appreciated the constant effort to put the AIDS problem against the background of the socio-economic facilities of the country. Unless the pervasive issues of poverty are faced nationally, then much of the fieldwork dealing with AIDS patents will have little lasting effect.
With the lockdown in place, there is no way I can get a copy to Hekima UNiversity College and AJAN (African Jesuit AIDS Network) in Nairobi. I was hoping to get it reviewed both in Hekima College and Arrupe College but the lockdown and the end of the year exams have put everything on hold. The book would be best placed in a large library where others could avail of it and hence the need for it to be reviewed in journals that students and researchers kuse. Hopefully in time it will get down.
So congratulations on your work. It is a life's achievement and I can appreciate the enormous effort you have put into it down several years. I hope that in time it will be a source for many and have the impact that it deserves.
With great appreciation for your loving care and concern,
Eddie Murphy

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
