Quality Medical Care

The status of a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often has significant impact on a physician's willingness and ability to provide quality medical care. A physician may face substantial penalties for refusing to treat a patient with HIV. Even the referral of a patient with HIV to a specialist in the disease may constitute a discriminatory act. The law provides certain guidelines which, if followed, may help keep the physician out of the courtroom.

The Individual

Internists often provide medical care both to patients with as yet undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and to those with known infection. Through early diagnosis and management of patients with HIV infection, physicians can significantly impact both individual patient health and public health. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of patients with HIV are crucial for the health of the individual and for the public's health, as those with known HIV infection can take measures to avoid transmitting the virus to others.
