This publication has been developed to help the frontline provider of HIV-related mental health services, allied professionals, and consumers stay up-to-date on research-based developments in HIV care. The contents for the "Biopsychosocial Update" are drawn from a variety of sources including, but not limited to: the CDC HIV/STD/TB Prevention News Update (http://www.cdcnpin.org/news/prevnews.htm); the Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report (http://report.kff.org/hivaids/); and information e-mailed by Florida International University researcher Robert M. Malow, Ph.D., ABPP. Other sources are identified when appropriate. It is presumed that readers have at least a fundamental understanding of medical, psychiatric, psychological, psychosocial, and spiritual considerations when assessing and intervening with people who are living with HIV/AIDS and their families. For additional background information on these aspects of care, the following resources may be of assistance: Bartlett, J.G., & Gallant, J.E. (2007). Medical management of HIV infection, 2007 edition. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University, Division of Infectious Diseases. Fernandez, F., & Ruiz, P. (Eds.). (2006). Psychiatric aspects of HIV/AIDS. Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. |
