Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a disease that affects 1 million patients in the United States. Many excellent drug regimens exist that effectively suppress the viral load and improve immune function, but there are consequences of long-term antiviral therapy. In addition, patients with HIV tend to have much higher rates of chronic disease, substance abuse, and cancer. Thus, while expert care in the treatment of HIV remains critical, the skill set of a primary care provider in the prevention, detection, and management of acute and chronic illness is vital to the care of the HIV patient.
人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染在美国影响着100万患者。目前有许多出色的药物治疗方案能有效抑制病毒载量并改善免疫功能，但长期抗病毒治疗也存在一些后果。此外，HIV患者患慢性病、药物滥用和癌症的几率往往要高得多。因此，虽然HIV治疗方面的专家护理仍然至关重要，但初级保健提供者在预防、检测和管理急慢性疾病方面的技能对于HIV患者的护理也至关重要。
