Abstract
This chapter discusses challenges inherent in helping soldiers cope with HIV infection. We describe the history of HIV disease in the military and the development of a special HIV ward at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Ways in which we assist soldiers to adapt to the constraints of HIV infection are explored.
