Abstract
The central premise of this thesis was that pain is a problem in persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), that this pain is biopsychosocial in nature, and as such may have different characteristics in different sub-groups. It was also hypothesised that pain in PLWHA can be effectively managed using a biopsychosocial treatment.
