There is no controversy, whatsoever, over the enormity of problems in relation to HIV and AIDS on the social, clinical, public health and on the economic frontiers. Globally, since the first AIDS case was detected in USA in 1981, the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues its expansion across the globe with approx. 16000 new infections a day. The most rapidly spreading virulent virus infection and its related syndromes are yet the most misunderstood issues in Science. With numerous research material, documents surveillance and study reports from all over the world, a compilation of the facts and figures in the form of an encyclopaedia is need of the time. Readers may send their opinions, comments, and to the Editor on the subject for incorporating in the future editions. Their contribution will be duly acknowledged by me. About The Author: - Dr. G.C. Satpathy, belongs to new millennium general of popular science writers and editors, with numerous articles in English, Hindi and Oriya, and five books to his credit. Professionally a Physician and associated with Central Reserve Police Force Since three decades, Dr. Satpathy is recipient of Pt Govind Ballab Pant Award and President's Police Medal.

Everyday, 1000 children around the world die from AIDS and about 90 percent of the 40 million people infected with HIV live in developing countries. In India, estimated number of HIV-AIDS patients is about 3.7 million out of which number of women (15-49 years) is 1.7 million and children 1,60,000 respectively. According to an expert view, at the current rate of progession, we would require six times the number of hospital bed avaiability is only 0.08 per 1000 population. In this encyclopaedia, the emphasis is more on elaboration and explanation of the terms instead of bookish definitions, so as to make the readers understand the word thoroughly. The terms have also been picked up from fields distantly related to AIDS and Family Education. Readers will find words even from subjects like biochemistry, anthropology, andrology, social medicine, sociology, community education, social work, toxicology, dietetics, obstetrics and gynaecology. Today there is more of collaboration and cooperation between different branches of science than competition, it certainly is a good sign for the betterment of human beings and humanity. The readers are also being provided with a supplement at the end of the encyclopaedia, which will be an additional source of information on various related aspects, i.e. legislation on blood and blood products, medical eligibility criteria for starting contraceptive methods, list of zonal surveillance, reference centres in India, types of malignancies and infections in AIDS etc. The NGOs, social workers, doctors, journalists, researchers, students and even general readers will find it equally neneficial.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumours. The symptoms of AIDS are primarily the result of conditions that do not normally develop in individuals with healthy immune systems. AIDS was first reported on June 5, 1981, AIDS stigma exists around the world in a variety of ways, including ostracism, rejection, discrimination and avoidance of HIV infected people; compulsory HIV testing without prior consent or protection of confidentiality; violence against HIV infected individuals or people who are perceived to be infected with HIV; and the quarantine ot HIV infected individuals. The most important way to change risky behaviour is health education. Education itself does not work, only it leads to higher health literacy and general cognitive ability. Education is the best investment, any society can make for the health and well-being of its children, as well as its economic and social progress. Education is development. It creates choices and opportunities for people, reduces the twin burdens of poverty and diseases and gives a stronger voice in society. The book aims to provide the fundamental aspects of education in HIV/AIDS.
