AIDS Update 2005

During the past two decades, more effort and money have been spent on HIV and AIDS research, care, and prevention than on any other disease in history. Despite researchers' hopes that these efforts would lead to the eradication of the disease, AIDS remains one of the central medical and human challenges of our time.

AIDS UPDATE 2005 presents a balanced review of the most current research and information on HIV infection, HIV disease, and AIDS. More importantly, AIDS UPDATE 2005 places this discussion within a biological, medical, and social framework, helping students to more fully understand this devastating pandemic.

This new edition has been extensively revised to present a more coherent, more streamlined discussion for more effective classroom use.

Included with each book is a subscription to Research Navigator (TM), a web-based research tool that offers articles culled from sources including the New England Journal of Medicine, AIDS Weekly, and The New York Times.
