Description
This book requires no biology prerequisite and is the most comprehensive, authoritative, accurate, and up-to-date book on HIV/AIDS currently available as it is updated each and every year. It presents the entire 22-year chronology of the AIDS pandemic in a reasonable, logical, and scientific manner that interweaves biological, clinical, social, and legal discoveries in a uniquely readable presentation. The author considers what causes AIDS, biological characteristics of the AIDS virus, immunology of HIV disease, preventing the transmission of HIV, testing for human immunodeficiency virus, and AIDS and society.
