Abstract
The provision of care for HN-infected children raises both medical and psychosocial issues. Pediatric HIV infection is an illness that affec ts both the child and the child's family. Multiple family members also may be infected and in need of health care and support services. The authors conclude that health care providers must do anything and every thing to alleviate the pain and suffering associated with this disease .
