HIV/AIDS in Europe: Moving from death sentence to chronic disease management

The book looks at HIV/AIDS in Europe from a broad variety of perspectives: biomedical, social, cultural, economic and political. The authors are leading experts from across the Region and include both the infected and the affected, be they doctors, former drug users, United Nations employees, public health researchers or community activists. They describe how, from the first documented cases in 1981 to the present, controlling the human immunodeficiency virus in Europe has proven elusive.
