ABOUT THE BOOK : The Challenge of AIDS is written to impart knowledge
about AIDS and a realisation of the challenge that the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) poses to us. The
book briefly covers different aspects ranging from the
origin of HIV and AIDS to the most recent developments
in vaccine.
AIDS research has attracted some of the finest brains
among doctors and scientists of the world; and yet, an
effective cure eludes us. Progress in vaccine development
seems to take two steps forward, but one-and-a-half steps
backward. In these circumstances, prevention is the only
goal. The book provides the necessary knowledge, but it
cannot supply the weapon to fight the challenge of HIV/
AIDS. Indeed, that weapon—a mind prepared to apply
the knowledge—rests with the reader.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Dr Khorshed M. Pavri, former Director of the National
