It interferes with their quality of life and physical functioning, impacts adherence to antiretroviral therapy and HIV primary care, and is associated with significant psychological/social distress and substance use disorders. Chronic Pain and HIV addresses all these complex issues that can influence pain care that can influence pain care for the patient with HIV and acts both as a primer and a comprehensive review to define the field of chronic pain management.

Rezensionen

"This book provides an excellent summary of the current literature on advances in the
treatment of pain associated with HIV. Although a number of
books address HIV/AIDS or pain management, Chronic Pain
and HIV: A Practical Approach achieves the objective of addressing pain management in the context of patients with HIV...I believe this book should be required reading for every
pain physician, researcher, resident, certainly every medical
student, and even patients with HIV-related pain." (Anesthesia & Analgesia journal June 2017)
