The most popular AIDS texts currently on the market all attempt a comprehensive discussion on the virological, immunological and clinical features of HIV infection but do not emphasize practical management issues confronted by the practitioner.;Case studies illustrating the major points covered in the text are provided. The organization provides a logical sequence of topics for those who wish to review the entire book as well as a convenient breakdown for finding specific information.
