This book has assembled an array of chapters on the medical, social and economic aspects of HIV/AIDS. This book will be of great interest not only to graduate students but also to active academics and practitioners. With increasing efficacy of antiretroviral therapy, HIV/AIDS has shifted from a disease with high mortality to a chronic illness with substantial longevity. However, researchers, physicians and social workers still face many challenges, and it is important to raise awareness on several aspects that people living with HIV/AIDS have to deal in their daily lives.
