Abstract
Worldwide, there is growing policy support for providing integrated HIV/AIDS services. Accordingly, this paper examines the challenges as well as the meritsfor implementing an integrated approach to HIV/AIDS services in Canada. Through a discussion of the interconnections between HIV/AIDS prevention, support, and treatment, the author outlines how these issues are fundamentally intertwined in the lives of people livingwith HIV/AIDS (PHAs) and those at risk of HIV infection. This suggests that provision of comprehensive HIV/AIDS services requires approaching these issues from an integrated perspective. The author outlines two existing models of integrated HIV/AIDS services to show the potential viability of such an approach, and concludes with policy recommendations to support service integration.
