Description
HIV/AIDS management poses many different challenges around the world, and the therapies available in the West are often not economically
feasible in developing countries. This new book is the first to address the myriad of clinical difficulties faced by health practitioners
worldwide in managing HIV/AIDS. Edited by the same authorities responsible for the highly respected reference "The Medical Management
of AIDS," with Associate Editors that include the President of the International AIDS Society and a preeminent opinion leader in the
fight against AIDS in Africa, and authored by a "who's who" of current global experts on HIV and AIDS medicine, this visionary text presents
all the practical, indispensable information that clinicians everywhere need to offer their patients the best possible care.
