Unfortunately, AIDS has no consolidated cure at the moment. Medical science still resorts to available treatment options. In seven chapters, this 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 topic. The first edition of the book was a bestseller, which sold millions of copies online at Amazon.com alone. This second edition of HIV/AIDS Treatment Strategies has been updated, rearranged, expanded and re-written to provide insight into the current generation of HIV medicine, new ideas about HIV and AIDS and a better health care for the HIV-positive. HIV Treatment Strategies translates the latest science to daily clinical practice. It is the book-to-read to keep abreast of scientific developments in the field of HIV treatment. The revised book is a supportive and educational resource for HIV patients, counsellors, health care professionals, friends and family members who want to play more active roles in the management of HIV and AIDS. It has been up-graded on current research trends about HIV treatment. There is an additional text in chapter one on a tentative HIV ''Cure''. But there is the need for further evidence of the cure in future researches. The book has been fully illustrated. This edition is the current vogue, which replaces the first edition. Book 7 |

by: Alan Whiteside publisher: Oxford University Press, USA, published: 2008-02-25 ASIN: 0192806920 EAN: 9780192806925 sales rank: 143084 HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. As of 2004 an estimated 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. In the developing world, especially in parts of Africa, life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, causing a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp increase in orphans, 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 behavior has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalizing world. This Very Short Introduction tackles the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and suggests how we must respond. |

by: Jarrett Zigon publisher: University of California Press, published: 2010-12-16 ASIN: 0520267648 EAN: 9780520267640 sales rank: 419572 This provocative study examines the role of today's Russian Orthodox Church in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Russia has one of the fastest-growing rates of HIV infection in the world--80 percent from intravenous drug use--and the Church remains its only resource for fighting these diseases. Jarrett Zigon takes the reader into a Church-run treatment center where, along with self-transformational and religious approaches, he explores broader anthropological questions--of morality, ethics, what constitutes a "normal" life, and who defines it as such. Zigon argues that this rare Russian partnership between sacred and political power carries unintended consequences: even as the Church condemns the influence of globalization as the root of the problem it seeks to combat, its programs are cultivating citizen-subjects ready for self-governance and responsibility, and better attuned to a world the Church ultimately opposes. |

by: John G. Bartlett publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press, published: 2006-09-26 ASIN: 0801884853 EAN: 9780801884856 sales rank: 445933 The Guide to Living with HIV Infection is the most complete source of medical, emotional, social, and practical advice available for those infected with HIV and their loved ones. Developed at the Johns Hopkins AIDS Clinic, the guide provides essential information for making decisions about treatment and testing in a world transformed by new research and pharmacotherapy. In this thoroughly updated sixth edition, Dr. John Bartlett and Ann K. Finkbeiner address the latest information about risks of transmission, viral mutations that confer drug resistance, and new, rapid, HIV testing. They offer guidelines for Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), a therapy protocol that has dramatically increased life expectancy for HIV-positive people. They describe how to follow HAART and when to change drug regimens, the symptoms of and treatments for HAART side effects, and the costs of and insurance coverage for HAART. They also outline the possibilities for a diagnosis of "no detectable virus." Accompanied by updated references and resources, the sixth edition of The Guide to Living with HIV Infection offers new hope for people living with a virus that once left no hope at all. |

by: Catherine Campbell publisher: Indiana University Press, published: 2003-09-01 ASIN: 0253216354 EAN: 9780253216359 sales rank: 92916 "In the old South Africa we killed people. Now we're just letting them die." —Pieter Dirk Uys, South African satirist Today in South Africa, HIV/AIDS kills about 5 in 10 young people. Many of the victims are miners and commercial sex workers who ply their trade in mining communities. In this critique of government-sponsored and privately funded HIV/AIDS prevention programs in South Africa, Catherine Campbell exposes why it has been so difficult to stop the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Campbell's research focuses on local vectors of the disease such as what people believe about the spread and prevention of AIDS, what measures they take to prevent disease, and whether they are likely to seek treatment at local AIDS clinics. "Letting Them Die" is not just an investigation into sexuality, social relations, health, and medicine; it is also a sharp review of the kinds of programs that are becoming the standard method of HIV/AIDS intervention throughout Africa. |
