AIDS and HIV Essentials

Patients won't just walk in and reveal their HIV status...

Protect yourself by knowing how to assess patient risk and signs of opportunistic infections—information readily available in this fourth, revised edition of AIDS and HIV Essentials.

The constant flow of new data on HIV infection and AIDS and the rapid changes in clinical practice require all health care workers to keep up-to-date. This new edition covers the latest information on drugs, HIV transmission and prevention, antiretroviral therapies and their side effects, OSHA work practices, and CDC guidelines for postexposure prophylaxsis in the event of an on-the-job exposure to HIV.
