title: Primary care of HIV-infected adults.
abstract: HIV infection is increasingly becoming a chronic illness as effective treatment allows patients to live longer and stay healthier. HIV-infected patients often benefit from having both a generalist familiar with primary care medicine and a HIV expert involved in their care. This article is geared at the generalist who is involved with the care of HIV-infected patients and presents a series of cases to address topics important in the primary care of patients with HIV infection.
