| Publisher Description: A work by health care experts and skilled professionals, Three Decades of HIV/ AIDS in Asia contains country-specific chapters on the HIV/AIDS problem--low-prevalence countries such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as well as countries with advanced epidemics such as Cambodia, China, India, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam--and the evolving response to it. With the modus operandi of real-life stories and case studies, this work becomes more relevant in assessing the reality and the prevention measures required for effective prevention. |
