520 $aThis edition provides readers with a firm overview of AIDS from both biomedical and psychosocial perspectives. The text covers the molecular and cellular aspects of the HIV virus and the immune system's response to it and then considers epidemiology and it's role in understanding HIV/AIDS. Extensive discussion of the personal and societal implications of HIV infection, from prevention to dianosis and subsequent discriminations, is also included.
