Abstract
This article discusses different models of care in the UK for the small number of patients with HIV-related encephalopathy. A combination of intensive community support, residential care and respite care has been shown to be more effective than hospital care. The authors emphasise the importance of early neuropsychological assessment, the provision of a broad range of services with an appropriate skill mix of carers and the need for staff education and support.
