Clinical Aspects of HIV Infection in Adults

The World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS assists countries in the planning and implementation of comprehensive AIDS care.

This includes a referral network extending from home and community care settings, through peripheral health units, to district hospitals.

Comprehensive care comprises a proper balance between clinical management, counselling, nursing care and social support.

It requires a well-informed health care staff, with skills in the recognition, diagnosis and management of HIV-related conditions.

These slides form a set of materials available to trainers and institutions that are intended to train health care staff to diagnose and manage HIV-related conditions.
