I read this because Abraham Verghese, who is one of my most favorite authors, (Cutting for Stone, In My Own Country, The Tennis Partner) wrote the forward and it was through him that the author met his partner who is an absolutely remarkable woman! Mahlon Johnson became infected with HIV after doing an autopsy on an AIDS patient. This is the story of his experimentation on himself to save his own life and thereby the lives of other HIV infected people. Brilliant man!

Beautifully written. What a courageous story to tell - could not put it down.

Working on a Miracle“ ist sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die ein tieferes Verständnis für HIV/AIDS gewinnen wollen. Es verbindet Informationen mit Menschlichkeit und eignet sich besonders für Leser, die sich nicht nur informieren, sondern auch einfühlen möchten.
