Current and comprehensive knowledge of the critical issues identified with the care, treatment and support of individuals living with HIV/AIDS is an indispensable component in the professional development of case managers, outreach and prevention workers, and administrative staff. The more information available to these HIV/AIDS professionals, the more effective and meaningful is their ability to positively affect the lives of their clients.
