Besides the purely medical assessment and care, it also addresses such issues as HIV testing, counseling, specific needs of women and children and health care workers, as well as management ofpain and of those who are terminaally ill. Current approaches and recommendations for the use of anti-retroviral therapy are highlighted in all relevant sections.

As tuberculosis and other sexually transmitted infections are so closely associated with HIV, these conditions have also been included.
