AIDS counseling on the front lines
Abstract:
Skill at patient education is crucial to the battle against the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The fight is not confined to one segment of society or to a few geographic areas. Counseling patients at risk about HIV-antibody (HIV-Ab) testing requires a full understanding of the available tests; a psychosocial profile of the patient; candid, nonjudgmental exchanges between patient and clinician; and an ability to deal with significant emotional stress. All PAs should use their talents at patient education to help contain HIV infection.
