Abstract
Resumen
El número de casos de VIH/SIDA ha ido en aumento sostenido, transformándose en una de las principales causas de muerte en el mundo especialmente entre gente joven y en paÃses con recursos limitados. Hoy en dÃa, los nuevos medicamentos y tratamientos logran hacer indetectable el virus en la sangre deteniendo el deterioro del sistema inmunológico y recuperando cualitativa y cuantitativamente la respuesta inmune. Lo anterior, hace que las terapias actuales deban considerarse de por vida, resultando interesante que se pueda hablar, hoy en dÃa, de una cronicidad del VIH/SIDA lo cual cambia sustancialmente el foco de intervención en el campo clÃnico de lo realizado en los inicios de la infección. El presente informe diagnóstico de 1997 se re-edita con el propósito de contribuir a la perspectiva histórica de los inicios de la intervención profesional en VIH/SIDA en Chile. En este trabajo se esbozan los desafÃos y dificultades que debe afrontar un centro de acogida para el trabajo con menores seropositivos, información de utilidad para apreciar la evolución de estos desafÃos, luego de una década de intervención.
