There are various reasons for taking an interest in the treatment for HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately, AIDS has no cure at the moment. But in the absence of a cure, medical science resorts to available treatment options. In seven chapters, this handy book has been designed to help people seek information about treatment strategies for HIV/AIDS. These include: - a general introduction to HIV/AIDS - antiretroviral therapy (ART) - dynamics of ARV drugs - merits and demerits of ARV drugs - revival of immune systems in HIV infection - foundations of immunosuppression - hints for the HIV-positive. The book also includes details of websites for further research, review questions for those preparing for coursework or examinations, a glossary of terms and an index. By explaining a complex disease as one that can be understood and managed, HIV/AIDS Treatment Strategies provides clear and useful information about this important subject area.
