Popis: Pain is one of the most commonly reported symptoms among patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The location of many pain symptoms are beginning to fall parallel to the aging general population such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis—with this in mind we will emphasize neuropathic pain as it relates to the HIV viral and treatment exposure. The following chapter will start with a discussion on epidemiology and the history of disease. We will create a foundation of understanding by discussing known and proposed pathophysiology for pain symptoms. Diagnosis and management will proceed in a stepwise and organized fashion, addressing established and novel approaches to treatment. At the end of the chapter, we will explore some of the management considerations as well as obstacles specific to HIV related pain in the hospitalized patient.
