摘要
Caring for persons with HIV infection is particularly difficult in resource-poor countries. In order to improve the quality of care we first have to evaluate how such care is Presently organized. We need a better assessment of the needs and demands of persons with HN infection as well as their families. Care for persons with HIV/AIDS should be decentralized and home-based care in a non-stigmatizing way should be promoted. The fight against discrimination of persons with HN should be intensified. A lot can be achieved by reorganizing and strengthening existing health care systems, by better listening to patients and families and by promoting solidarity among communities.
