title: HIV disease: a review for the family physician. Part I. Evaluation and conventional therapy.
abstract: Family physicians will be challenged with caring for increasing numbers of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. After confirming the presence of the infection, the physician must follow a logical sequence of evaluation, counseling and treatment. The current Centers for Disease Control classification and a series of evaluation and treatment protocols form the basis for prescribing zidovudine to delay or mitigate involvement of T lymphocytes and neuronal cells.
