Description
This volume covers recent research into AIDS and encompasses the perspectives of law, social work, nursing, psychology, anthropology, neurology, obstetrics, neuropsychology, neonatology and psychiatry. The context of AIDS is examined from the vertical transmission of the virus to the therapeutic issues among HIV-positive children and adolescents with haemophilia. While promoting an understanding of the scope of the disease, the text also identifies specific issues for children with AIDS. These include the neurologic aspects of AIDS; the rights of HIV-positive children; and the effects of the disease on family relationships.
