The Epidemiology of AIDS: Expression, Occurrence and Control of Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection: Expression, Occurrence and Control of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Eight years after the first recognition of AIDS, new insights into the distribution and expression of the disease continue to accumulate as fast as the inexorable increase in cases. Consequently, there is a need for a thorough review of the major issues in population studies of the disease, as well as a detailed but accessible summary of the biology of the infection. As the first comprehensive text on the epidemiology of AIDS and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, this book distills voluminous, widely dispersed research data on the AIDS phenomenon in a single, carefully-integrated volume. It provides clear discussions of the biology and clinical manifestations of the infection and the disease, thorough treatment of its occurrence in high and low risk populations, and a detailed account of control efforts, including behavioral intervention, drug therapy, immunization, and other responses of the health care and legal systems. The book will be an invaluable reference for all professionals concerned with AIDS.
