Writing for health care professionals, including speech-language pathologists, audiologists, otolaryngologists, primary care physicians, and nurses, Swanepoel (communication pathology, U. of Pretoria, South Africa, and U. of Texas at Dallas) and Louw (speech-language pathology, East Tennessee State U.) bring together 13 chapters that describe neglected communication, auditory and balance, and swallowing and feeding disorders related to HIV/AIDS, across the life span. Clinicians and academics working in neurology, audiology, communication disorders, otolaryngology, speech-language pathology, and other areas in South Africa, the US, and Brazil address the pathogenesis, medical diagnosis, and management of HIV/AIDS; the psychosocial impact, ethical considerations, and infection control; and the nature, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders.
