Abstract
With the increasing longevity of persons with AIDS, the family has begun to assume greater long-term responsibility for care of family members with AIDS. The authors discuss the stressors accompanying reintegration of a person with AIDS into the family system. The medical and social ramifications of the disease and experiences of families are explored. Three case studies and potential intervention strategies are discussed.Keywords
