(AIeF) The AIDS Images Library is Dr. Bernard Hirschel's searchable

online library of AIDS-related images for medical professionals.

Images, illustrations, and tables from this site are organized

according to Disease, Type of Image, and Organ System. Clicks will

yield a series of thumbnails, an additional click will enlarge

whatever you are interested in. The enlarged image can be transformed

into a PowerPoint slide with a third click (see button that says " Get

PowerPoint Slide " ). Multiple PowerPoint slides can be included in

your customized presentation. Registration, without charge, is

required to use some features.

Dr. Bernard Hirschel is the Chief of the HIV/AIDS Division at the

Geneva University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland, and an " AIDS

dinosaur " , having followed the AIDS epidemic for 25 years,

concentrating first on prevention of PCP, and later on the discovery

of a novel pathogenic microorganism, Mycobacterium genavense. With

the advent of effective medications, his focus shifted to anti-

retroviral therapy. His current interest is in novel treatment

strategies, particularly planned interruption and simplification of

anti-retroviral therapy.

He has authored many papers

(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search & DB=pubmed),

book chapters and a textbook on HIV infection, and am a member of

several editorial boards, including the New England Journal of

Medicine from 1998 to 2006, and of numerous scientific societies.

This website, aids-images.ch, is his attempt at organising his

collection of documents illustrating the complications of HIV Therapy

has been so effective that younger colleagues do not often see these

anymore, reason why the site will be useful to them.

Most images are from his own personal collection accumulated during

the AIDS epidemic from 1981 to 2006. Use of the site is free. The

folloing is the list of diseases and the number slides under each
