- This illustrated guide for clinicians, specialists, allied health professionals, and students begins by introducing the history of the HIV epidemic, then describes transmission and classification of HIV infection and reviews HIV testing. A chapter on the pathogenesis of HIV infection covers virology and the immune system, and a chapter on treatment of HIV infection includes an appendix of dosing guidelines for anti-retroviral drugs. Clinical management issues in HIV patients are discussed, such as liver disease and metabolic complications. Other areas covered include HIV and opportunistic infections, HIV and malignancies, HIV and pregnancy, and post-exposure prophylaxis of HIV infection. The book's two-column color layout features color and b&w diagnostic images, clinical photos, process diagrams, anatomical illustrations, statistical maps, and summary charts.
