Palliative Care
This guide is designed for caregiving professionals in all disciplines who seek to enhance their skills at providing palliative care for people living with HIV/AIDS. Palliative care for people living with HIV/AIDS is the unification of science, compassion and spirituality. The guide endeavours to reflect this vital union. Contrary to what many believe, there is no specific time for palliative care. Throughout its trajectory, advanced HIV disease presents continuing challenges for all, but experience proves that those knowledgeable in palliative care can relieve the intense, broad suffering of persons living with the disease. The result can be a unique experience respectful of each individual and healing to those he/she loves. This document endeavours to strengthen the skills that makes this experience possible.
Managing your health [4th ed.]
The 4th edition of Managing your health: a guide for people living with HIV provides up-to-date, reliable, plain language information delivered from the perspectives of people living with this disease. Since it was first published in 1996, it has become a "must read" for people living with HIV or AIDS, and those seeking accurate and comprehensive information.
Both the content and the format of the new edition have been updated and revised to include chapter summaries and key messages, and fold-out cover features such as a glossary. These new features are intended to help orient readers so that they can navigate easily through the guide.
This edition is designed as a workbook in which people with HIV can record their personal health information and notes.
