Annotation

This article highlights current changes in our understanding of HIV infection in children: examines two central concepts -- family-centered care and prevention -- for the development of child welfare services; and explores certain implications for foster care for HIV-infected children while reviewing the training needed by foster care personnel and foster parents if they are to provide competent services.
