title: Current perioperative management of the patient with HIV.
abstract: Although modem medical care and current therapies save and prolong the lives of many patients with HIV/AIDS, the disease process has no cure and will continue to present itself during the perioperative period. All ages, young and old, may present with the pathology and, therefore, the anesthesiologist must have sound knowledge of the disease, treatment, complications, and multiorgan manifestations. It will be necessary to review the current treatment modalities for HIV as pharmacologic strategies are ever evolving with this disease process.
