There are specific needs and issues in providing palliative care for people with AIDS and this book gives practical guidelines to enable health care professionals to respond appropriately to these needs with confidence. This second edition has been significantly updated to include new chapters on terminal care for women with AIDS, care of families with AIDS, and care where resources are limited. The chapters on symptom control and IV drug users and AIDS have also been considerably expanded. Features of the first edition, including the emphasis on social, spiritual, physical, and emotional patient care, have all been retained.
