This volume is intended for a wide audience including physicians as well as the diverse set of health professionals who must step in to help with treatment in regions of the world most affected by HIV and where physicians are in short supply. Early diagnosis and early treatment are key. Editors Lal (Bai Jerbai Wadia Hosptial for Children, India) and Merchant (emeritus at the same institution) have gathered contributions and arranged them in sections on basic sciences, clinical manifestations of HIV infection in children, women and newborns, adolescents, management issues, and miscellaneous issues (among them: psychosocial issues, day to day care, orphans, and NGOs in India).
