Although our knowledge of the underlying science and pathology driving this epidemic has increased, there is still no biomedical ‘cure’ for this disease. The need for nurses to care is as urgent now as when the disease first appeared. The 5th edition of this text has been substantially revised and updated to reflect the changing focus and instability of the epidemic. Core chapters have been completely rewritten, including the evolution of the pandemic, pathways of destruction in HIV disease, the management of strategic nursing care, and nursing issues related to antiretroviral therapy. Three new chapters have been added – the counselling role of the nurse, supporting adherence to therapy and accessing information on the World Wide Web. Robert Pratt’s internationally acknowledged expertise underpins this clear and comprehensive reference for all nurses caring for patients with HIV disease.
