In the aftermath: serial crisis intervention for people with HIV.
Because the ever-changing course of HIV disease, including AIDS, represents a continuous series of unexpected stressors, repeated crisis intervention is appropriate for people who are HIV infected. HIV disease causes situational, developmental, social, and compound crises. People with HIV may experience episodic trauma over the course of the illness and consequently move in and out of equilibrium. Crisis intervention should be offered at every hazardous juncture. This article examines ways to use crisis intervention techniques to help people living with HIV.
