Textbook of AIDS Medicine

A textbook providing readers with an ability to survey the molecular, biological, immunological, epidemiological, clinical, psychosocial, and ethical issues that inform any discussion of AIDS, while at the same time permitting readers to focus on any individual area of interest for an in-depth review. The volume has a special clinical orientation for physicians and physicians-in-training, but it is not intended for physicians exclusively, and has value from a basic research perspective as well. The 59 chapters are organized into an introduction ("The Biomedical Impact of the AIDS Epidemic") and five major sections: basic sciences; epidemiology; clinical; control and prevention; and diseases associated with other retroviruses.
