AIDS has been recognised as a disease during the past few years and the incidence and number of deaths from AIDS have risen sharply recently both in North America and in Europe. Because the disease was previously unknown, because its fatality rate is so high, and because it strikes at distinctive subpopulations, the media have paid great attention to it. Dr Victor Gong and the nineteen other contributors to his book, written for a wide audience, have brought together the most up-to-date information on AIDS. They draw from a wide range of experience in medicine, epidemiology, nursing, psychology, immunology, microbiology, social work, and interaction with the gay community, and explain the medical and immunological aspects of AIDS clearly, with a minimum of technical language. This fully documented book includes a glossary, and a summary of facts about AIDS in the form of questions and answers. It will be of value and interest to medical workers and laymen alike.
