Absolute must have.

I just call it the Bible. If you are moving into the filed of HIV research, or are doing a PhD in the field, this is the book. It's certainly not an entertaining introduction for everybody. It's rather a review book about the complete pathogenesis of HIV, is close to cover every aspect at an incredible scientific depth, unmatched by 'textbooks'. It further covers all cell types (T-Cells, NK cells, Monocytes, macrophages, DCs, BC and subsets - if it has been researched in HIV, it's in the book). Cytokines and interactions within the immune system and how HIV affects it. Further, tables are used smartly to list key findings and summarize chapters. And as opposed to most textbooks, it is fully referenced, so further reading and starting your own research is fairly easy (5000 citations to the key literature of the topics covered). If you want to or have to get going with studies on HIV, this are 100 dollars spent that will save your life. I only wish, a fourth edition is on the way, 3-4 years since the 3rd edition and a lot has happened since then.

HIV and the Pathogeneses of AIDS

Good book, great price. A bit longer to ship but it came as described condition. Thanks!

A must have

This book is the "bible" for understanding HIV/AIDS. It is a must have for students, researchers, doctors, and those who care for people with the disease.

HIV and the pathogenesis of AIDS

This is really excellent book about HIV. It is easy to understand but contains nearly all advanced recent topics including history, immunology and pathogenesis of HIV. Especially for the students who study HIV, this is the best reference for general and specific knowledge.
