HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Needs Assessment
Project Background
In response to a request from the Chief Medical Officer, the ScotPHN is currently undertaking a needs assessment of treatment and care services required for people with HIV.
Aim of Project
The needs assessment will look at epidemiological data (number of people living with HIV etc), comparative data (what happens in other areas/countries) and corporate views (mainly views of those involved with the delivery of services) to ascertain what services are currently available and to look at what services will be required in the future.
