Data collected focused on GP reception, behavioral changes due to HIV status, and consultation preferences.

Main Results:

The vast majority (91%) of HIV patients reported their GP was aware of their diagnosis, with 94% experiencing neutral or friendly reception.
Only a small percentage of GPs altered their behavior negatively due to the HIV diagnosis.
While patients preferred GPs for physical issues, they were less inclined to consult them for psychological problems.

Conclusions:

Most patients expressed high satisfaction with their general practitioners concerning confidentiality, attitudes, knowledge, and overall management.
The study highlights a generally positive relationship between patients with HIV and their primary care physicians.
