Book Description
Increased HIV screening may help identify more people with the disease, but there may not be enough resources to provide them with the care they need. The Institute of Medicine's Committee on HIV Screening and Access to Care concludes that more practitioners must be trained in HIV/AIDS care and treatment and their hospitals, clinics, and health departments must receive sufficient funding to meet a growing demand for care.

Book Description
This report presents eight case studies of HIV/AIDS programmes in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These studies reflect the concern that experiences and lessons learned from local small-scale best practice should be translated into bigger projects with wider coverage to help improve the quality of life of people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. The studies are based on a presentation given at an international conference held in Paris in 1999, and cover projects in Cambodia, Cãte d'Ivoire, Ecuador, India, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda.

Book Description
A comprehensive health care system consists of services that are coordinated and integrated along the full continuum of care. For HIV patients, this includes physical health care, infectious disease management, crisis care, mental health care, substance abuse counseling, and social support services including housing, transportation, subsistence, and supports for dealing with multiple sources of stigma. This book highlights the dilemmas faced in providing comprehensive, integrated care to individuals living with HIV, providing both an understanding of existing efforts to integrate diverse systems of care, as well as insight into ways in which systems of care must be challenged in order to meet the needs of people living with HIV. Comprehensive Care for HIV/AIDS is the result of collaborative work with the county Health Department, numerous community-based organizations, and several planning boards in a metropolitan area, which have sought to provide integrated care to people living with HIV. It will be a valuable resource to the diverse community of HIV researchers, advocates and providers.
