abstract: Of the myriad complications that result from HIV infection, the most commonly reported is pain. Many patients with HIV who report pain rate it as severe and say it decreases their quality of life. Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), are emerging as viable interventions for pain management in this population. This article highlights challenges and nonpharmacologic options in the management of pain in patients with HIV.
