title: Health promotion in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients through psychosocial interventions.
abstract: The extreme fear, prejudice, and stigmatization associated with human immunodeficiency virus disease make the acquired immune deficiency syndrome epidemic a unique phenomenon of the modern era. A fundamental understanding of the phychosocial issues surrounding the disease is essential, if nurses are to design interventions that promote optimal health among those infected and those at risk for infection.
