AB OBJECTIVE: To establish a multidisciplin health program designed for
HIV(+), paciens, those who are suffering the attack of the virus, and
try to prolong their lifes. METHODS: By forming a team of health
workers. This team would include: a Doctor, a Social Workers, a full
time secretary, a Chemistry, a Phsicologist, A Dietist. These people
would work together giving support to patients living with HIV+.
RESULTS: Since 1985 to now, we have found 210 cases with a male-female
relation 5 to 1 and the average age of 25-44 years. The death rate
is--40% without medical and social support, we interacted 10 of
those--patients and gave them medical and social support and we can
conclude that those patients were much more physically and mentally
stable, after three months of care we didn't find other diseases in
asociation. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The Multidiciplin program had
given us hope in areas and comunity--where the structure or the medical
services is limited.
