Oral Session | ||||
| ||||
| This session will address the emerging challenges in providing appropriate palliative care and services to individuals with HIV/AIDS who are medically underserved and hard-to-reach. Although the death rates from HIV/AIDS have fallen in recent years, AIDS is still a fatal disease. In developing countries, the death rates from HIV/AIDS are growing expodentially and appropriate care at end-of-life is a concern. The speakers will discuss the delivery of end-of-life care in rural and urban settings and describe service provision to individuals with HIV/AIDS who are homeless, uninsured, substance abusers, mentally ill, and/or incarcerated. The presentations will illustrate how an awareness of the life circumstances and lifestyle of the affected population informs the range, focus and delivery of the programs. | ||||
