From the reviews: Almost a quarter of a century has passed since the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified. ! The availability of a summary of this research and its clinical applications in a slim and eminently readable volume is therefore welcome, particularly as it relates to Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, squamouscell neoplasia, and genital dysplasia. ! I found myself turning the pages with increasing excitement as the story of viruses and cancer unfolded. (Jonathan Said, New England Journal of Medicine, January, 2008)
