HIV infection and developmental services for adults.
The achievement of community living and greater personal independence has placed adults with developmental disabilities in a potentially vulnerable position regarding acquisition of HIV infection. Early surveys have identified a limited number of individuals who have become infected. Few states have undertaken planning for assurance of appropriate services. Program managers must consider the diverse educational and ethical issues involved; advisory committees can be of assistance. Strong antidiscrimination measures will be required for the protection of adults with developmental disabilities and HIV infection.
