Abstract: HIV disease and AIDS are being redefined as chronic, long-term
conditions that are suitable for vocational rehabilitation interventions. With
the advent of more effective medical interventions, many individuals with these
diseases are living longer and are interested in pursuing employment options.
In this article, physiological and neurological symptoms, psychological and
mental health issues, psychosocial issues affecting women, and
employment-related issues and interventions are discussed as they apply to the
health and rehabilitation practitioner working with individuals with HIV
disease and AIDS.
