A patient with HIV infection is likely to be bewildered by the array of infections to which they are susceptible, the different tests that they will have to endure, and the many drug regimens that they will need to follow as their illness progresses. Patient Pictures - HIV Medicine helps physicians discuss the investigation and treatment of HIV-related disease with their patients.
