title: Research in HIV-related renal diseases lags behind their burden to the 'positive' community.
abstract: Although outcomes for persons with HIV infection and renal disease have improved, the analysis by Choi et al. suggests that they remain similar to or worse than outcomes for persons with diabetes mellitus. This study should be used to frame the research resources that we devote to furthering knowledge in this area.
