This book provides practical advice for the surgeon on how to cope with the problems associated with HIV infection. Most of the professional interest in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been directed at the cause and treatment of the disease and at evaluating the chance of infection. The surgeon needs to consider how the presence of HIV infection will affect surgical diseases and their management and to assess the risk to the surgical team. The book contains contributions from both sides of the Atlantic and covers the practical aspects of surgery and HIV/AIDS infection.
