[The management of HIV infection: acute retroviral syndrome and follow-up principles].
Current evidence no longer justifies the introduction of antiretroviral treatment during primary HIV infection. Consequently, patients presenting with the acute retroviral syndrome should not be treated outside clinical studies. For patients with chronic infection, the decline of opportunistic infections, due to the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy, has left the place to daily problems of adverse effects and drug interactions. In Switzerland, the follow-up of HIV-infected adults is organized within the framework of a prospective cohort study.
