Description: "In each chapter of HIV/AIDS and the Drug Culture, you'll gain instant access to full medical and psychosocial histories. You'll also find summaries of important events, clues to recognize, and strategies to safely manage each problematic situation that might arise, all of which will speed you on your way to administering more effectively and professionally to current and former intravenous drug users."--BOOK JACKET.

"Because most health care providers only deal with a small number of HIV/AIDS IVDU cases, they lack the opportunity to construct valuable and viable plans for dealing with such patients. Now, finally, you have this guide to help you.

So, if you're a nurse, social worker, health care provider, case manager, therapist, or someone interested in learning about the latest information regarding health care and intravenous drug use, let HIV/AIDS and the Drug Culture introduce you to the culture of the drug user and the best plans for meeting his or her health care needs."--BOOK JACKET.
