Women continue to be disproportionately affected with HIV. Women with HIV/AIDS are also more likely than their male counterparts to be single heads of households and primary providers for their children. Social workers are ideally suited to recognize the psychosocial complexities that HIV/AIDS entails for women and how such circumstances can interfere with medical management and meeting children’s needs. This article discusses the literature relevant to women with HIV/AIDS and case management and describes a community-based case management program that was designed to serve urban women with newly diagnosed or newly disclosed cases of HIV/AIDS and their families.

Key Words: comprehensive case management • HIV/AIDS • substance abuse • women
