abstract: Early, prompt assessment and clinical management can extend the lifespan and improve the quality of life of people with HIV. The initial and subsequent medical examination should evaluate conditions most often associated with HIV infection. HIV causes multiple organ diseases, and the approach to its evaluation should be systematic and comprehensive.
