Abstract:
The perception of HIV induced illness is changing. The emphasis in treating AIDS patients should be compassionate, low technology, cost-effective care. Patient care in the community should be encouraged and facilitated as much as possible, to allow them to live as normal a life as possible. It is not only the physical effects of disease that disable patients, daily life in its many dimensions may also be affected by the impact of AIDS. Though incurable, HIV induced disease is treatable leading to an overall improvement in the patients quality of life and survival, provided there is a will, love and compassion.
