Nevirapine and the Quest to End Pediatric AIDS
2 journalers for this copy...
from the publisher in a Librarything giveaway
"I was given an early review copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. A very ambitious book; dense with information. Overall, it covers about 25 years of AIDS and treatment. Although Nevirapine is the drug in the title of the book, and is the AIDS drug most closely followed, the disease itself and the use of other drugs in the management of the disease are also discussed.
The book has chapters on how a chemist isolates a compound, how early testing in the lab is done, how to ramp up the manufacturer of a drug for clinical trials, and what goes in to clinical trials internationally. The book also focuses attention of Africa, in particular South Africa, and the continuing proliferation of AIDS on that continent.
This reads like a textbook, and does jump around in subject matter. The author wants to capture everything. Despite the title, it's only in the last pages that the reader discovers that better drugs have been invented, and Neviripine is being sunsetted as the drug of choice for AIDS maternal - infant transmission."

Received in the mail yesterday..., thanks NancyNova for the book! It's a book about the quest to end pediatric AIDS. Will read and pass along to my step-daughter who is an anthropologist who studies AIDS and its treatment in Kenya especially with regards to the stigma involved with the disease.
