| Popis: | Recent clinical drug trials have demonstrated that early intervention with zidovudine will delay disease progression in asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic HIV-infected individuals. These trials will encourage larger numbers of seropositive persons to seek access to primary care, overloading specialized clinics for AIDS and HIV care. The care of early HIV-infected individuals will need to be delivered by mainstream primary care providers. This article discusses the initiation and management of zidovudine, and chemoprophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in early HIV infection. |
