Description
"STIs and HIV" is written for those doctors starting their career in this specialty. The text presents a succinct account of the subject concentrating on diagnostic techniques, treatment and management. Throughout extensive use is made of colour photographs, drawings, lists and tables. The aim is to provide a 'bridge' between introductory undergraduate texts and the very large and expensive major reference works. Wherever possible evidence-based treatment options are given and referenced. A detailed list of further reading is also provided. Each chapter ends with clinical cases and associated questions to reinforce the contents of the chapter.
