{"product_id":"clinical-manual-of-hiv-psychiatry","title":"Clinical Manual of HIV Psychiatry","description":"When the AIDS pandemic emerged in 1981, the diagnosis of                        AIDS was considered terminal. Over the four decades since then, advances in                        medicine have transformed HIV\/AIDS into chronic and manageable—if still                        severe— condition. Despite this success, the annual incidence of HIV remains                        high, with 1.3 million new HIV infections worldwide and more than 30,000 in                        the United States. The chapters in this illuminating and concise new                        manual suggest that this continued high incidence is driven at least in part                        a lack of a biopsychosocial approach to HIV prevention and care. The authors                        suggest that destigmatizing mental illness and integrating psychiatric                        aspects into multispecialty medical treatment, research, and public health                        policy are essential for the next level of meaningful progress in both                        prevention of HIV transmission and in the care of persons infected with and                        affected by HIV.   Drawing on the expertise of over 20 contributors,                        this book is organized into four key sections that examine •                        Psychiatric screening, risk assessment, consultation, and evaluation in HIV                        care, including discussions of HIV testing, prevention, and stigma•                        Psychiatric illnesses associated with HIV infection, such as depressive,                        anxiety, substance-related and addictive, and neurocognitive disorders•                        The clinical management of psychiatric comorbidities in HIV-positive                        individuals, with attention to interactions between antiretrovirals and                        psychotropics, palliative and end-of-life care, and ethical considerations                        in HIV psychiatry • The challenges of providing HIV care against the                        backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and in resource-limited settings                        Offering quick-reference tables and take-home points that distill key                        information, this clinically focused manual is an essential resource for                        infectious disease specialists, internists, pediatricians, psychiatrists,                        psychologists, nurses, and social workers who care for patients across the                        lifespan.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495541219701,"sku":"9798894550978","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/clinical-manual-of-hiv-psychiatry","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
