Immunologia

Un libro fondamentale sull'AIDS, di cui oggi si parla meno anche a causa di una strisciante tendenza negazionista che tenta di convincerci che sia stata tutta una manovra delle case farmaceutiche. L'autore dimostra l'infondatezza di questa posizione, chiarisce i meccanismi con cui l'HIV provoca l'AIDS e spiega come e perché a breve si potrà guarire.
