Topics covered include epidemiology and pathogenesis , HIV virology (including management of ART resistance), HIV and the immune system, therapies for HIV infection and their side effects, as well as treatment of the numerous systemic and metabolic diseases that accompany, or result from, HIV infection such as cardiovascular disease, liver disease, neurologic disorders, opportunistic infections and malignancies. The authors also address the sensitive issues surrounding conception and pregnancy in couples affected by the disease. All clinicians treating patients with HIV and AIDS will find this an invaluable reference.education, and limited access to effective therapies, ensures that HIV remains a threat not only to the local population but to visitors too, and consequently to the wider world. Thus, while the incidence of new cases in developed countries is levelling off, it remains important that health workers continue to be aware of the epidemiology of the disease, its many manifestations, and the options for effective management.
