The Evolving Landscape of HIV Treatment – Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine

Management guidelines are therefore increasingly recommending regular screening for these conditions in patients with chronic HIV. Screening and treatment for common comorbidities are usually no different than for HIV-negative individuals, although special factors may need to be considered in the HIV-positive group.
