 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.
