内容説明

This book provides the most up-to-date information available to help you better understand and identify cofactors and potential cofactors for additional study of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This volume is packed with reviews of AIDS research and related models and systems. It explains that infection by heterosexual contact has very different rates in distinct parts of the world and the reasons are only partially defined. Therefore, it is certain that cofactor(s), in addition to the HIV virus, are required for development of most clinical states after HIV infection. Cofactors may include race, sex, genetic differences, drug abuse, age, immunological development, and nutritional factors. This indispensable text is an absolute must for all physicians, virologists, clinical researchers, nurses, public health workers, physiologists, and anyone interested in learning more about this alarming disease.
