Dear Members,

thanks to all the Contributors, the above editorial project is now 
approaching to publication (available September 2002).

Besides the chapter authors, several high quality photographs have 
also been provided by many external contributors from worldwide ref-
erence centers, such as S Croft (London School of Hygiene and Tropi-
cal Medicine, London, UK), R Weber (University-Hospital Zuerich, 
Switzerland), T Van Gool (Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the 
Netherlands), J Wheat (Indiana University School of Medicine, Indian-
apolis, USA), JM Orenstein (Department of Pathology, Washington Uni-
versity, Washington, USA), HL Du Pont (Houston School of Public 
Health, Houston, USA), W Nittayananta (Faculty of Dentistry Songkhla 
University, Songkhla,Thailand), BA Connor (New York Hospital-Cornell 
Medical Center, New York, USA), E Dei-Cas and El Moukhtar Aliouat 
(Institut Pasteur de Lille, Lille, France), and others.

JG Bartlett (Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School 
of Medicine, Baltimore, USA) and S Vella (President, International 
AIDS Society-IAS) accepted to write the Foreword and the Preface, re-
spectively.

Based on its nature of collaborative work written by expert leaders 
from all over the world, I believe this book could become a standard 
in the field and take part in the educational programs to be run in 
developing countries. To this aim, also a CD-ROM version has been 
planned.

The book will be published under the Auspices of The Liverpool School 
of Tropical Medicine, The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention 
(CDC), The International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care 
(IAPAC), and The International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM).
The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene will arrange the 
publication of a review in the Transactions. A review in Clinical In-
fectious Diseases was also granted by Professor Sherwood Gorbach. 
Other reviews will be published in the leading journals of The Liver-
pool School of Tropical Medicine.

Auspices have been provided by many Italian leading Institutions, 
such as The Tuscany Regional Government, The Italian Society for In-
fectious and Tropical Diseases (SIMIT), The National Fighting Asso-
ciation against AIDS (ANLAIDS), The Italian Society of Migration 
Medicine (SIMM), and CUAMM (Doctors with Africa). Auspices from The 
International AIDS Society (IAS) are pending. 

The book contents are presently under evaluation by Drs. DL Heymann 
and T Turmen, Executive Directors at the WHO Headquarters in Geneva, 
Switzerland. 

I am pleased to submit the book to your attention, and I wonder if 
you can consider it as a useful tool for AIDS-care workers worldwide 
and judge it worth of taking part in the AFRO-NETS educational pro-
grams.

Thank you for your courtesy and attention. I am looking forward to 
hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
