Go beyond traditional medical care to treat the whole person!In the
past ten years, the treatment and epidemiology of AIDS have
changed, and HIV/AIDS services must also change. The Next
Generation of AIDS Patients suggests new ways to find and care for
persons living with AIDS, not just by offering traditional medical
treatment but by delivering needed support services as well. This
landmark book defines the startling shift in demographics of this
phase of the epidemic. The new AIDS patients have different
problems than the white gay men who were strongly affected in the
early days of the disease: some are substance abusers or sex
workers or their partners, and many have children. Clients who are
homeless, poorly educated, not native English speakers, or
uninsured have overwhelming social support needs and need extra
help to obtain their medical requirements. The Next Generation of
AIDS Patients offers detailed analyses to help you determine
clients'needs and vulnerability levels, so you can provide complete
biopsychosocial services. In addition, the original empirical
research in this book reveals which programs deliver the best
outcomes for various client populations. The Next Generation of
AIDS Patientssupplies you with an effective data modeling approach
for determining levels of vulnerability and need, and discusses
such vital issues as: identifying and overcoming barriers to HIV
care engaging and retaining in care individuals with high levels of
unmet need delivering services to diverse minority populations,
substance abusers, homeless people, and those who live in rural
areas client satisfaction in community service organizations In
order to develop successful community-based health care and support
services, medical and social work professionals must take the new
face of this disease into account. The Next Generation of AIDS
Patients offers practical advice, readily applicable theory, and
proven strategies for caring for people living with AIDS.
