title: Investigating chronic symptoms in HIV: an opportunity for collaborative nursing research.
abstract: Because of improved life expectancy for people with HIV infection, today's clinician needs to understand and manage chronic symptoms that limit function and quality of life. The authors describe two collaborative HIV symptom-management studies conducted by the Division of Intramural Research of the National Institute of Nursing Research. Studies such as these are necessary to provide nurses and other healthcare personnel with the knowledge essential for appropriate, comprehensive, and quality patient care.
