Guest: Jason M. Leider, MD, PhD
To help physicians prepare for those times when they diagnose HIV-1 in treatment-naive patients, Dr. Leider shares his perspective on treating HIV-1 in patients that may have refused care at time of initial diagnosis, have not had resistance testing performed at time of diagnosis, or are unable to locate their medical records.
