A collaborative approach to providing care for HIV-infected adolescents.
Adolescents, in general, are among the most challenging groups to engage in care. Caring for HIV-infected adolescents is a complex process that is further complicated by the wide range of adolescents' psychosocial needs. In addition, understanding the developmental stages and tasks for these adolescents is imperative. Multiple disciplines must collaborate in order to provide optimal and comprehensive health care to this subpopulation of adolescents.
