1988年，保罗·沃尔伯丁和梅尔·桑德出版了第一版《艾滋病的医疗管理》。这本权威参考书的第六版也是最后一版于1999年出版，在艾滋病毒护理提供者的参考书架上留下了空白。在原书出版20年后，Volberding等人现在提供全球艾滋病毒/艾滋病医学。他们的目标是使这本书成为“第一本旨在全面管理真正全球性问题的教科书”。第一版的全球艾滋病毒/艾滋病医学已经从以前的教科书进行了广泛的修改。增加了三名新的编辑，文本从38章扩大到71章，并从世界各地征聘了135名专家作者。
正文分为6个主要部分：艾滋病毒感染的流行病学和生物学;艾滋病毒感染的预防、诊断和治疗;与艾滋病毒感染相关的疾病;资源丰富环境的预防和管理;资源贫乏环境的预防和管理;以及艾滋病毒流行的经济和社会后果。自上一版出版以来，艾滋病毒医学的进展在第一和第二部分进行了广泛的审查。关于HIV分子生物学的章节提供了HIV和细胞蛋白质如何相互作用的极好概述。第15-18章很好地总结了抗逆转录病毒治疗的现行做法。在本书的最后两部分，作者讨论了发展中国家艾滋病护理提供者所面临的问题。为这些章节编写了许多新的章节，包括关于资源贫乏环境中的抗逆转录病毒疗法以及疟疾和艾滋病毒的章节;还包括关于发展中国家患者寄生虫感染的更新章节。
本书的局限性包括不同作者所写章节之间可预见的微小重复和矛盾。鉴于托姆的综合性质和全球目的，某些疾病不可避免地被忽视，以限制读者背部劳损的可能性。任何希望了解HIV感染患者进行性多灶性白质脑病、胆道疾病、手术结果或血栓性血小板减少性紫癜表现的人都会失望。此外，关于皮肤病的章节写得很好，但令人困惑的是，它所描述的症状缺乏任何图像。这些缺点与本书的积极方面相比相形见绌。
总之，这是一个宏伟的工作，由一组专家编辑和世界级的作者。这本书应该成为每一本参考书的一部分，也是任何认真的艾滋病毒护理提供者的重要工具。
In 1988, Paul Volberding and Merle Sande published the first edition of The Medical Management of AIDS. The 6th and last edition of this authoritative reference was published in 1999, leaving a void on the reference shelves of HIV care providers. Twenty years after the original book, Volberding et al. now offer Global HIV/AIDS Medicine. Their aim is to make this “The first textbook aimed at a comprehensive approach to the management of what is truly a global problem.” The first edition of Global HIV/AIDS Medicine has been extensively revamped from the previous textbook. Three new editors have been added, the text has been expanded from 38 to 71 chapters, and the 135 expert authors have been recruited from throughout the world.
The text is divided into 6 major sections: Epidemiology and Biology of HIV Infection; Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of HIV Infection; Diseases Associated with HIV Infection; Prevention and Management in Resource-Rich Settings; Prevention and Management in Resource-Poor Settings; and Economic and Social Consequences of the HIV Epidemic. Advances in HIV medicine since the publication of the last edition are extensively reviewed in the first and second sections. The chapter on the molecular biology of HIV provides an excellent overview of how HIV and cellular proteins interact. Current practices in antiretroviral treatment are nicely summarized in chapters 15–18. In the last 2 sections of the book, the authors address problems facing HIV care providers practicing in the developing world. Many new chapters have been written for these sections, including chapters on antiretroviral therapy in resource-poor settings, and malaria and HIV; also included is an updated section on parasitic infections among patients residing in the developing world.
Limitations of this book include the predictable minor duplications and contradictions between chapters written by different authors. Given the tome’s comprehensive nature and global purpose, certain diseases are inevitably given short shrift to limit the likelihood of back strain among readers. Any person hoping to learn about progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, biliary tract diseases, outcomes of surgery, or manifestations of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in HIV-infected patients will be disappointed. In addition, the well-written chapter on dermatologic diseases is distinguished by the baffling lack of any images of the manifestations it describes. These shortcomings are dwarfed by the positive aspects of this book.
In summary, this is a magnificent work by a group of expert editors and world-class authors. This volume should be a part of every reference collection and an essential tool for any serious provider of HIV care.
