tailieunhanh - Mental Health and HIV/AIDS

The intersection between mental health and HIV/AIDS is relatively undeveloped. This report draws on the perspectives and experiences of academics, non-governmental workers and government officials, from both developed and developing countries, who gathered at a meeting in March 2003. The aim of the meeting was to start to develop a better understanding of the complex ways in which HIV/AIDS affects people’s mental health and the implications this has for those infected by the disease, their families and friends as well as for society as a whole | Free download from Mental Health and HIV AIDS Report on a round-table discussion March 2003 HUMAN.
