HIV/AIDS is a new phenomenon in the human society. HIV destroys the immune system of human individuals, producing a defenselessness fatal state known as AIDS. WHO has estimated that already 1 in every 250 adults in the world is infected with HIV and according to its projections a total of 40 million men women and children worldwide will have been infected with HIV by the year 2000. Visualizing the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic within our life times and beyond is difficult. Probably, no other disease in recent times has had the impact on human society generated by HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has brought into focus many health related ethical, legal and human rights issues. The epidemic requires immediate and effective responses in new programming areas: attitudinal and behavioural changes, community-based care and support initiatives, and behavioural changes, community-based care and support initiatives, and the maintenance of human development in the face of increasing rates of illness and death. At this juncture, education enters the scene as it can after the HIV/AIDS situation since it starts educating the blossoming buds of the human society. This International Encyclopaedia of AIDS presents the world-wide information about HIV/AIDS, issues and challenges, reports and studies, ethics laws and human rights, and educational activities and programmes to keep the policy makers, planners, professionals, activists, researchers, educationists, teachers and students will informed of the epidemic.

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. His popular books are Healthcare in Indian Police Forces (also in Hindi), AIDS Transmission: Challenges in the New Millennium, Modern Biology, Micro and Nerobiology, etc. He is currently posted in the Base Hospital of CRPF at Guwahati, Assam.

HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. The first case was identified in 1981; by 2004 it was estimated that about 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. Because of controversies and taboos surrounding safe drug usage and prostitution, the numbers of people infected continues to rise. However, it is in the developing world and especially parts of Africa that the real catastrophe is unfolding. In some of the worst affected countries life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, which has led to a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp rise in orphaning, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behaviour has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalising world. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the disease, tackling the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and explores how we have — and must — respond. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
