title: Psychiatric consultation issues in pediatric HIV and AIDS.
abstract: Psychotherapy issues raised by children with HIV infections or AIDS can be very disturbing to even experienced child psychiatrists. This paper explores specific issues with case examples to demonstrate useful approaches to complex problems such as reentry into the school setting, issues of blame when one family member infects others, the choice of an HIV infected woman to have a child, and primary prevention among adolescents.
