Psychosocial support for AIDS patients is in the early stage in Japan.
And social work practices where AIDS patients are involved are trying to
define their role by studying HIV cases in the U.S. Since social work is
the profession that intervene between persons facing these kinds of
problems and their environment, social workers should play an important
role in helping persons with HIV infection by thinking of their special
psychosocial need and consideration in Japan. It is necessary for social
workers to have a clear viewpoint of each contents and to develop their
accountability.
