Abstract:

Because of the complexity of their illness, patients infected with HIV may require many services to facilitate the management of the disease. The primary care provider must understand and facilitate the services that are needed and needs to be familiar with the individuals responsible for the care of each patient. There are many stresses that have been identified in HIV caregiving, for informal caregivers and health care workers. These stresses are described, and suggestions for appropriate interventions are outlined.
