Palliative aids Care – to be or not to Be

Abstract

The acceleration of the incidence of AIDS poses many questions for hospice and palliative care programs. Consideration must be given to many factors, such as active versus palliative treatment; timing of palliative involvement; regarding infection, the management of fear and anxiety and the protection of staff and other patients; the role of palliative care in the societal implications of the disease; decisions about the allocation of health care resources.
