title: AIDS and Athletes.
abstract: In brief: AIDS is the most significant public health problem of our generation and has implications for athletes and their health care professionals. A growing body of scientific data supports the position that most individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can and should remain physically active and may participate in most sports. Current public health guidelines regarding transmission of HIV also apply to the training room and to organized sports. In addition, physicians and athletic trainers who disseminate the facts about AIDS and HIV are invaluable assets in the worldwide effort to eradicate AIDS.
