Avoiding Complications with Home Healthcare for HIV/AIDS ...

Posted by admin on January 19th, 2013

Home healthcare for adults and children with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been available in Australia since 1984.

HIV medication is easier to tolerate than in former times and after your specialist has provided a drug regimen that suits you, staying healthy is focussed on protecting your general health and avoiding complications.

Avoid risk factors

The HIV/AIDS infection damages the immune system and greater care must be taken to avoid the risk factors for developing:

? Cancer
? Eye disease
? Heart disease
? Kidney disease
? Liver disease
? Nerve damage
? Stroke
? Infections like pneumonia, flu or TB

In HIV/AIDS patients over the age of 50 there may also be a higher likelihood of developing medical conditions related to the ageing process, for example, osteoporosis and memory loss.

However, under the close eye of a home health care nurse, this condition can be expertly managed and some of these problems can be slowed down or averted by taking care of your health.

Range of services

Each HIV/AIDS homehealthcare nurse can provide a range of important services at home including:

? Health monitoring
? General nursing care and managing of symptoms
? Medication management
? Intravenous therapy and pain management
? Emotional support for clients and their carers
? Teaching family and carers how to provide appropriate care

With the home healthcare of a trained HIV/AIDS nurse, the specific needs of each client are comprehensively met and this can include arranging for a home help service to take charge of the household chores.

Comprehensive and confidential

HIV/AIDSnursesalways works in full partnership with clients, their family and other care-providers to give a holistic service that ensures all possible care is taken to promote good health and avoid complications.

All HIV/AIDS home care nurses work under the strictest confidentiality, wearing plain clothes and driving unmarked vehicles
