Book
"In this new edition of their acclaimed guide, Dr. John Bartlett, director of the Infectious Diseases Division at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and science writer Ann Finkbeiner thoroughly update their discussion of the disease, from the evolving issue of when to start treatment to the new and sophisticated tests for the response to treatment, for the state of the immune system, and for HIV's resistance to various drugs. They describe these drugs' unanticipated side effects, among which are changes in peoples' appearances and increases in the lipid levels of their blood. They offer advice on adhering to the drugs' regimen?a regimen so strict and demanding that even AIDS doctors, in trials using placebos, failed it. And they explain the medical strategies by which the levels of HIV can be pushed down to an undetectable level and made to stay there."--JHU Press
