HIV, a retrovirus, is the causative organism of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) that develops during later stages of HIV infection. HIV destroys immune cells and disables the immune system against other diseases, infections, and cancers. Study of structure and pathogenesis of HIV, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment arouses interest when teaching is assisted by a comprehensive reference source with graphical representations.

The FOCUS Animated Pocket Dictionary of HIV, the first ever animated dictionary in the subject, fills that void quite effectively. A must-have resource for physicians and students who would greatly benefit from this module, it covers 100 HIV & AIDS related terms and definitions.
