HIV and AIDS: Management by the Primary Care Team (Practical Guides for General Practice)

HIV and AIDS: Management by the Primary Care Team (Practical Guides for General Practice)

by Adrian Moss (Author)

Synopsis

AIDS is increasingly a primary care disease. As a result of the increasing pressure on hospital services and the expressed wishes of patients, most people with HIV and AIDS spend the majority of their time living in the community. All GP's, therefore, will have to become familiar with the day-to-day management of those affected. This book, as well as discussing clinical and therapeutic aspects, highlights specific issues raised by the disease, such as fear, prejudice, sexuality and death. The author suggests that the primary health care team is already well equipped to deal with all aspects of HIV and AIDS, provided that it is willing to become involved. Case studies emphasize the points being made, and help to relate them to the current experience of GP's and other health care workers.
