The work features over 4000 A-Z entries including medical, cultural, social, and pharmacological essays. The Pathology entries cover the various types of HIV-related illnesses, including those that are and are not AIDS-defining. Many of the conditions that are AIDS-defining illnesses have their own entries or are cross-referenced to a generic entry in which several related conditions are discussed (such as enteric diseases and fungal infections). Typically, the treatment of any given form of pathology is briefly discussed in the entry that covers that illness. The reference is a must-read for Infectious Disease specialists, Immunologists, Public Health researchers, Virologists, Microbiologists, Pharmacologists, and Physicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday, 1000 children around the world die from AIDS and about 90 percent of the 40 million people infected with HIV live in developing countries. In India, estimated number of HIV-AIDS patients is about 3.7 million out of which number of women (15-49 years) is 1.7 million and children 1,60,000 respectively. According to an expert view, at the current rate of progession, we would require six times the number of hospital bed avaiability is only 0.08 per 1000 population. In this encyclopaedia, the emphasis is more on elaboration and explanation of the terms instead of bookish definitions, so as to make the readers understand the word thoroughly. The terms have also been picked up from fields distantly related to AIDS and Family Education. Readers will find words even from subjects like biochemistry, anthropology, andrology, social medicine, sociology, community education, social work, toxicology, dietetics, obstetrics and gynaecology. Today there is more of collaboration and cooperation between different branches of science than competition, it certainly is a good sign for the betterment of human beings and humanity. The readers are also being provided with a supplement at the end of the encyclopaedia, which will be an additional source of information on various related aspects, i.e. legislation on blood and blood products, medical eligibility criteria for starting contraceptive methods, list of zonal surveillance, reference centres in India, types of malignancies and infections in AIDS etc. The NGOs, social workers, doctors, journalists, researchers, students and even general readers will find it equally neneficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. The first case was identified in 1981; by 2004 it was estimated that about 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. Because of controversies and taboos surrounding safe drug usage and prostitution, the numbers of people infected continues to rise. However, it is in the developing world and especially parts of Africa that the real catastrophe is unfolding. In some of the worst affected countries life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, which has led to a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp rise in orphaning, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behaviour has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalising world. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the disease, tackling the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and explores how we have — and must — respond. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of life-threatening news, how does our view of life change—and what do we do it transform it? Remaking a Life uses the HIV/AIDS epidemic as a lens to understand how women generate radical improvements in their social well being in the face of social stigma and economic disadvantage. Drawing on interviews with nationally recognized AIDS activists as well as over one hundred Chicago-based women living with HIV/AIDS, Celeste Watkins-Hayes takes readers on an uplifting journey through women’s transformative projects, a multidimensional process in which women shift their approach to their physical, social, economic, and political survival, thereby changing their viewpoint of “dying from” AIDS to “living with” it. With an eye towards improving the lives of women, Remaking a Life provides techniques to encourage private, nonprofit, and government agencies to successfully collaborate, and shares policy ideas with the hope of alleviating the injuries of inequality faced by those living with HIV/AIDS everyday.
