Abstract:
An attempt has been made to review the available strategies to contain the spread of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Also options for clinical management of AIDS' patients are summarized. Development and production of a suitable vaccine is the ultimate goal in the attempts to stop the spread of AIDS. This however has been hampered by the continuous replication and mutation of the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) within the body of an infected person. For now, effective health education is the most realistic method of controlling the spread of AIDS.
