When encountering a patient who has newly diagnosed HIV, primary care clinicians typically refer the patient for specialist care. However, these patients don’t always initiate treatment in a timely manner and are at risk for transmitting the virus.

Isolde Butler and Charlene Flash offer their expertise.
