This document is intended for clinicians and other service providers, health care policy makers and advocates. It was developed by the National Health Care for the Homeless Council in collaboration with the Bureaus of Primary Health Care and HIV/AIDS, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, in response to the following concerns: -The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is dramatically higher among homeless people than in the general population. -Homelessness and HIV/AIDS are widespread and intersecting problems that occur in both urban and rural populations throughout the United States. -Conditions associated with homelessness make HIV prevention and control especially difficult. -Limited access to medical care severely restricts HIV/AIDS prevention, risk reduction and treatment for homeless persons. -Adherence to complex HIV treatment regimens presents special challenges for homeless patients and their caregivers.
