Health carers' attitudes to HIV infection and AIDS.
By 30 June 1992, 76,696 cases of AIDS had been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO), the highest incidence occurring in people in their early to late 20s. If carers are to address the health care problems arising from this, they must push aside personal prejudices. Programmes must also be developed to help carers cope with anxieties and stress while health education should target those most at risk of infection and highlight the relevance of AIDS to society as a whole.
