Synopsis

This important text, thoroughly updated and rewritten, continues to offer a unique overview of the field of HIV pathogenesis. Since the first successful edition in 1994, substantial advances have been made in many aspects of HIV and AIDS research, including the fields of epidemiology and transmission, humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, and HIV-associated cancers. Comprehensive, lucid, and extensively annotated, this book presents the most current knowledge on the many aspects of HIV infection and control. The reference section, greatly expanded, is the most definitive presentation of HIV/AIDS literature available. Brief biographies spotlight scientists and physicians who played a pioneering role in AIDS research and medicine.
