The goal of psychological first aid is to sooth, assist and help people function and cope in a healthy way in the wake of a traumatic event.

HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND) is an emergent public health issue in developed countries. Consequently, people living with HIV who experience HAND will increasingly require support from community-based HIV service providers. The objective of our qualitative study was to identify barriers service providers face in addressing HAND among people living with HIV. Thirty-three providers from 22 AIDS service organizations across Ontario, Canada, were interviewed.

This paper draws attention to HAND-related obstacles that service providers encounter in their work and presents options to overcome them.
