HIV Treatment: Mental Health Aspects of Antiviral Therapy (Ucsf AIDS Health Project Monograph Series)

Largely in response to combination antiviral treatments, overall rates of AIDs deaths have dramatically decreased, but this change and the treatments themselves have created a new set of psychological and social challenges for those with HIV. This monograph is a primer for mental health providers working in this altered landscape. It describes the new treatment paradigm, the mental health issues it raises, and ways to help clients cope with the issues. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
