HIV

Volume one of the Oxford series "What Do I Do Now?: Infectious Diseases" approaches HIV through clinical scenarios rather than straight exposition. It walks readers through the examination, investigation, management and prevention of the virus as clinicians meet it in practice.

Each scenario is followed by a discussion of diagnosis, a list of key points to keep in mind, and selected references for further reading. The topics span hepatitis B coinfection, bacterial sexually transmitted infections, antiretroviral therapy considerations, immunizations and more.

The book is written for HIV and outpatient primary care providers, medical students and trainees, and inpatient consultants. Its cases are designed to help clinicians think through complex patients living with HIV, and it doubles as a self-assessment tool, prompting readers to decide the next step in each situation.
