Abstract:
Modern antiretroviral therapy has led to a dramatic reduction in HIV-associated opportunistic infections and mortality, but late diagnosis of HIV and poor linkage to care persist and lead to a worse prognosis. HIV care is now focused on early therapy initiation and virologic control, and new practitioners may have less experience and fewer educational resources for diagnosis and management of opportunistic infections. In this special issue, we outline the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections in the modern antiretroviral therapy era alongside clinical photography, radiographic findings, and microbiologic, endoscopic, pathologic, and retinal images.
