Victorian HIV/AIDS Services (Department of Health, Victoria) - home page
In Australia, the availability and success of antiretroviral treatments has meant that acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related mortality is increasingly uncommon. However, HIV/AIDS patients, in living longer, have increasingly more complex health problems. This is due to the treatment side effects and the psychosocial effects of living with a debilitating illness and with associated issues of poverty, social isolation and mental health.
