Book excerpt: Offering practical solutions to the problems associated with nursing care for HIV and AIDS patients, this resource is written by two highly experienced nurses from the context of both the healthcare and home environments. Designed as an easily accessible, quick-reference guide, topics include HIV and pregnancy, pediatric management, dealing with infections, and the principles of anti-retroviral therapy. Additional chapters include counseling and living positively with HIV and AIDS. The most recent research is presented and the interactive approach makes the task of putting theory into practice achievable.
