Y1 - 2004 N1 - T2 - Principles & Practice of Pain Medicine, 2e AB - In the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy, HIV-infected patients live longer and healthier lives, which makes relief of pain associated with the complications of HIV infection an important factor in improving the quality of life. Relief of acute pain is important not only because pain relief affects the quality of life of caregivers as well as the individual suffering pain, but also because unrelieved pain can become chronic pain, which is much more difficult to manage because a vicious cycle that sustains pain develops.1,2 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3417832 ER -
