Abstract
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is currently a major public health threat worldwide. This epidemic was first identified in 1981 when unusual clusters of Pneumocystis pneumonia were reported in Los Angeles. Since then the pace of the developments in this field has been phenomenal. The diagnosis and treatment of HIV and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) have become more and more complicated as the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease has grown. It is now nearly impossible even for experienced scientists and clinicians to remain up-to-date. For those new to the field it is difficult to know which of the myriad of available sources are reliable. To assist colleagues who are interested in understanding more about the role of oxidative stress and dietary antioxidants in the treatment of HIV infection we have therefore produced tables containing up-to-date resources. We list information on regulatory bodies, organizations and professional societies, websites, journals, books, protocols, and other miscellaneous guidelines and recommendations that are most relevant to the evidence-based study of HIV, AIDS, nutrition, and oxidative stress. The experts who assisted with the compilation of these tables of resources are acknowledged.
