 AB    Community or welfare services are frequently unavailable to those
       without a formal AIDS Dementia Complex diagnosis (ADC). A number of
       strategies have been implemented to facilitate greater understanding of
       the psychosocial issues involved. A comprehensive research
       neuropsychological follow up register has been established, alongside
       with targeted education programs on HIV related brain impairment
       directed to persons living with HIV and their significant others, health
       professionals and general community welfare agencies. Disturbed
       behaviour and functional problems often present difficulties for care
       providers and most frequently difficulties in placing patients in
       residential facilities. A number of programs are discussed. As research
       demonstrates that both the percentage of HIV patients with ADC varies in
       different risk groups it is important that service delivery plans take
       this into account.
