Asia has become the new battle ground for the war against HIV/AIDS. The magnitude of the potential public health problems caused by AIDS in this populous continent may become a catastrophic disaster. A 10% rate of prevalence of HIV-1 in India and China alone would mean more than 200 million people are infected with HIV.

From the reviews:
"The underlying theme of this excellent book is the prospect of an HIV/AIDS epidemic in Asia and the steps that have been and must be taken to prevent the spread of this virus and disease in an area that contains about 60 percent of the world's population. Some 115 international scientists and public health officials, all directly involved in AIDS/HIV-associated work, have contributed 39 chapters....As evidenced by the section titles, the book is well organized. It is also well edited; the varied nationalities of the contributors are not reflected in the writing style. Each chapter has a list of references, and the book benefits from a good index. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels. (R. S. Kowalczyk, Choice, January 2005
"AIDS in Asia will be an extremely valuable resource as leaders and stakeholders move to set up integrated HIV/AIDS control programmes. It will help them to enlist the latest evidence in support of fair treatment for the vulnerable, which is the foundation of all adequate public health policy."
(from the Foreword by Lee Jong-Wook, Director-General of the World Health Organization)
