Description
In recognition of the public health crisis in Haiti, the Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (JANAC) plans to publish a themed issue on natural disaster, trauma, and HIV in Haiti. The issue will be published in early 2011. Haiti’s current crisis is exacerbated by a history of poverty and political instability and some effort is warranted to contextualize the crisis and to focus on priorities for HIV prevention and care. This commentary provides background information and a discussion of areas that affect HIV-infected Haitians in the present environment.
