What has been the impact of AIDS/HIV on the health and statutory social services? How have these services responded to the demands posed by AIDS/HIV? The research presented in this handbook examines these issues, and also charts the development and use of voluntary organizations in the AIDS field and the reactions of professional groups such as GPs and nurses. Many of the findings and recommendations offer information for provider units seeking to improve the quality of care to those affected by HIV and AIDS.
