AB In this qualitative study, the parents of ten children who attended an
inner-London teaching hospital for HIV/AIDS were interviewed to find out
their views on the services. Speaking from their own experiences,
parents expressed a high level of satisfaction with the specialist
paediatric care at the teaching hospital but had little confidence in
the expertise of other hospitals or of GPs and health visitors. Few
cases had been identified antenatally; the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS was
often made only after the child had become ill and been investigated for
a variety of diseases before being tested for HIV. The families felt
considerable anxiety about the future, especially about what would
happen if both child and parent were to become ill at the same time. The
increasing number of HIV-infected mothers and children means that in
future the caseload and expertise of the specialist centres will need to
be shared with the primary health care team.
