 AB    Completed results from a global study on Care of PWHIV/PWA for the
       publication of AIDS in the World, Vol.2, will be presented. While entire
       populations are included in the study, emphasis will be on the care of
       children with AIDS. The presentation will consist of two parts: I.
       Delivery systems for the care of PWHIV/PWA. Applying data from
       previously unpublished studies, a conceptual model of options for
       delivering care to PWHIV/PWA is presented. The model provides a
       framework for assessing the value of money of alternative levels of care
       (i.e., hospital, home care, or hospice care). Cost-effectiveness data
       and other empirical evidence is presented to support decision making
       about investment into delivery systems for PWHIV/PWA care. II. The costs
       of caring for PWHIV/PWA. Estimates of current and projected costs of
       caring for PWHIV/PWA will be presented. A global survey was carried out
       to National Programmes on AIDS and non-governmental AIDS programmes to
       estimate total national expenditure for the care of PWHIV/PWA in a range
       of settings (i.e., hospital, home care, or hospice care). This data is
       presented and discussed within the framework of the model presented in
       Part I.
