Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / May 2006Suggested Reading on HIV
I'd like to understand as much as possible about HIV. Googling this group did not reveal much (only old entries). I am *not* interested in 'denialism' (unless references are answering 'denialism' statements). I'm sure there are great books (and perhaps internet references) on the subject. Consulting institutions only provide very basic information. What should be my starting point?

The statements: I'd like to understand as much as possible about HIV. and I am *not* interested in 'denialism' are not compatible. >Le Thu, 11 May 2006 16:03:21 +0200, Peter Levine ><peter.levine@spamtrap.com> a écrit: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >I am *not* interested in 'denialism' are a good start.

Your answer simply is off topic. Please open a thread on 'denialism' and I might decide to answer - or post answers not requested like in your case. I think this branch should be ended here because signal to noise ratio already dropped to 1.5/10. Peter >I'd like to understand as much as possible about HIV.

Viral replication cycle? Issues of pathogenesis? Cell types infected? Impact on immune, endocrine or central/peripheral nervous system function? Cellular effects? Effects on specific organs or tissues? Clinical effects? Treatments? Access to treatments? Political issues? Stigma? Marginalized populations? Epidemiologic issues? Transmission? Orphans? Mother-to-child transmission? Prevention issues--condoms, microbicides? The global response to the pandemic? And so on.... George M.

I think I want some basic knowledge of Biology/Virology. How does a virus work? Impact on immune system? Of course treatments and transmission (hazards) especially in presence of opporunistic infections (herpes ?). Peter >> Viral structure? Viral replication cycle? Issues of pathogenesis?

This site has a lot of that kind of information that Chris pointed you to: http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/InSite?page=KB There is a lot to learn with regard to basic biology and immunolgy. These help to ground you in understanding the mechanisms and events that occur after an individual is exposed to a pathogen (a disease-causing agent such as viruses, bacteria or fungi). There are some good texts on Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry and Genetics that you can begin to review as well. A college bookstore or library, for example, would have current editions to review.
