In this book, expert AIDS researchers critically review every aspect of this highly topical subject. HIV Chemotherapy examines the management of HIV infections and includes a fascinating review of current molecular strategies to protect and strengthen the host immune system at the cellular level. It also summarizes the strategies required for the implementation of effective anti-HIV therapies in developing countries (90% of worldwide AIDS cases). The book reviews the genetics of viral drug resistance, and current drug-resistance testing technologies. It also provides cutting-edge reviews of the latest viral and cellular targets for anti-HIV chemotherapy, the development of iRNA based therapeutics and molecular based strategies that target latent virus reservoirs in infected individuals.
