This book is the only European text to focus specifically on the terminal care of people with AIDS. The practical approach and holistic focus have already made this an extremely popular book amongst a whole range of health care professionals. The second edition has been significantly updated to include new material on the care of women with AIDS, the care of families, symptom control and IV drug use. There is also a new chapter addressing the issue of care where resources are limited. The unique features of the first edition, including the emphasis on social, spiritual, physical, and emotional patient care, have all been retained.
