All medical research contains within it issues of ethics, but research dealing with HIV adds yet another layer to what is already a complex mix of risks and befits. This compilation of efforts from a range of researchers and commentators comprises 18 articles on ethics and methodology, populations, and future concerns. The first section covers human rights, international guidelines, US regulations, informed consent, oversight and regulatory boards and committees, and relations between researchers, patients and the community. Other topics include recruiting, conducting clinical trials, doing observational and behavioral intervention studies, managing multi-site studies, studying children and the cognitively impaired, studying minority populations and in international settings, and studying activity-defined populations such as injected drug users. The closing articles describe the ethical issues involved in training new researchers and the community. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
