Primary HIV infection. Current trends in transmission, testing, and treatment
Abstract:
In the changing kaleidoscope of HIV disease, early detection of primary infection has become increasingly important. Primary care physicians who recognize the signs and symptoms are in an ideal position to diagnose the disease at an early stage and to help stem the tide of new infections in the community. In this article, Drs Yu and Daar discuss current strategies for early diagnosis, including recommended testing and steps to prevent transmission of the virus, and present the latest thinking about antiretroviral therapy during primary HIV infection.
