 The AFAO-NAPWA Education Teaminvited a group of authors from the Australian HIV sector to consider the issue of ARV therapy as prevention with a particular focus on recent debates and their application to the Australian context, as well as wider implications. Each of these authors makes an important contribution to this question. The resulting Monograph, 'TRICK OR TREAT?
