Abstract

Care for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection requires excellence in all aspects of family practice. The family physician’s roles include providing patient education to prevent uninfected persons from becoming infected, identifying and counseling infected persons, delivering comprehensive medical care (including antiretroviral treatment), prophylaxis against opportunistic infections, management of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and providing support and care for the family. New manifestations of HIV disease, diagnostic protocols, and drug recommendations for HIV disease1 change on a regular basis. Epidemiologic, social, and community trends also have important effects on clinical care.
