| Publisher Description: AIDS is increasingly a primary care disease. As a result of the growing pressure on hospital services and the expressed wishes of patients, many people with HIV and AIDS spend the majority of their time living in the community. All family practitioners, therefore, must become familiar with the day-to-day management of those affected. This timely work highlights specific issues raised by the disease, such as fear, prejudice, sexuality, and death, as well as discussing clinical and therapeutic aspects. 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. Specific case studies are discussed in relation to the current experience of family practitioners and other health care workers. |
