Connect multiple resources to form effective strategies to deal
with AIDS An effective strategy to deal with the AIDS epidemic is
to have a wide range of scientists, clinicians, front-line workers,
and clients distribute theory, care, and resource knowledge
geometrically through all levels. The Geometry of Care: Linking
Resources, Research, and Community to Reduce Degrees of Separation
Between HIV Treatment and Prevention shows how to link bottom-up
and top-down approaches to advance care, services, resources,
training, theory, and policy analysis. Leading authorities draw
upon behavioral and organizational theory to discuss the
development of the frameworks necessary to effectively disseminate
knowledge to benefit those needing care and to protect the
community from further risk. The Geometry of Care builds a powerful
case for the development of sustained links among academic
resources and the community. Practical strategies are provided to
set up a dynamic response framework to integrate the latest
advances in treatment and prevention. The first section focuses on
System and Program Level Geometry, the second on Patient and
Provider Level Geometry. This is the book that shows how to meet
the challenge to effectively understand, diagnose, treat, and
prevent AIDS simultaneously on multiple fronts. Topics in The
Geometry of Care include: expanding strategic care to include
patient, community, and medical centers the assessment,
dissemination, and integration of new advances the bottom-up
development of links among providers, systems, and settings

specialists within hospitals examples of infrastructure building at

relationships help to foster customized interventions serving
clients better by tracking them through data management integration

co-morbidities forging links between Western and traditional
