Covering a wide range of specific topics in the treatment of female patients with AIDS, The Medical Management of AIDS in Women gives particular focus to those symptoms and illnesses unique to women. It offers detailed discussions on the different modes of transmission, contraception, gender-specific manifestations, and conditions common in HIV-infected women, including aggressive cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and yeast infections. Since HIV infection predominantly occurs in women of child-bearing age, ample coverage is given to pregnancy issues and drug treatment during pregnancy. The authors also examine various systems of care, psychiatric management, prevention of infection, and legal concerns involved in treating women with AIDS.

Topics discussed in this text include:

• Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in women
• Perinatal transmission of HIV
• Pathophysiology of cervical dysplasia and neoplasia
• Antiviral therapy in pregnant and nonpregnant women
• Diagnosis and treatment of STDs in HIV-infected women
• Management of enteric protozoan infections
• Preventive and therapeutic HIV-1 vaccines

Women are now the fastest-growing segment of the HIV-infected population—a cause for major concern among obstetricians, gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, and public health officials. The Medical Management of AIDS in Women is a valuable resource for these professionals and anyone involved in the day-to-day struggle to care for the increasing numbers of female AIDS patients.

This comprehensive overview of the known literature concerning the physical and psychosocial health of children conceived by ART brings together an international panel of experts in fertility medicine, epidemiology, medical genetics, obstetrics, twin research, psychosocial development and pediatrics.

The book will prove an essential component for clinic library for fertility practitioners throughout the world. It will be useful for counselling families about known risks, and for placing in context what is generally a positive literature. Knowledge in this area has been restricted by the studies performed; however, there is a body of research that is hard for the busy fertility practitioner, counsellor, fertility nurse, or obstetrician to bring together and synthesize for their clients. The book is edited by Dr Alastair Sutcliffe – one of the world experts in this field. This is a revised and expanded edition of IVF Children – The First Generation.
