Patients Living with HIV
Treatment of chronic pain among individuals living with HIV/AIDS requires a delicate balance between relieving pain and managing complications or medication interactions. Creating an individualized treatment plan is key to the success and overall health and well-being.
Please note: It is important to ensure that patients living with HIV/AIDS feel accepted in the health care setting. Stigma and perceptions of discrimination can be debilitating for patients. Speaking in a non-judgmental way and creating an open communication between your patient and yourself is crucial to their overall health and well-being.
