Reviews

Jay Levy has managed this academic A-Z. of AIDS pathogenesis with considerable aplomb, as befits a scientist who has been at the centre of AIDS research for over one and a half decades. It is the best single source for students committed to understanding the multiple facets of the HIV epidemic and is equally valuable for experienced investigators to confirm facts, test concepts, and with persistence gain new insights into old ideas.
