Psychiatry

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.
