- Abstract
The article presents information on the need for a comprehensive patient education program for people with HIV/AIDS. Patient education programs for HIV/AIDS affected emphasizing self-help have been introduced but not consistently implemented by most service organizations. These programs can assist individuals with self-management techniques that can result in healthy attitude and behavior changes. In this study, the target population was accessed through AIDS service organizations that offered clinical care, support groups and HIV/ AIDS-related education in San Francisco, California. Most of the respondents had been exposed to different types of patient education and were relatively satisfied with the existing services available in their communities.
