A Guide to the Clinical Care of Women with HIV

Clinical Care Guidelines/Protocols

 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issues a series of guidelines to help doctors treat people with HIV in the United States.

HHS Clinical Guidelines

Clinical guidelines outline the science and recommendations for treatment of HIV disease (e.g., antiretroviral therapy, opportunistic infection treatment and prophylaxis) as well as guidelines for conducting HIV testing and counseling. Developed by various panels of clinical experts, these are frequently updated and should be accessed directly at the AIDSInfo Web site: Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of HIV/AIDS Exit Disclaimer

Managing UTIs in Women
Managing UTIs in women

 

Infection of the lower urinary tract is a common health issue encountered by primary-care providers, gynecologists, urologists, and other health-care professionals.

 

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more prevalent in women than in men, with greater than 50% of women having at least one infection in their lifetime. Approximately 25% of these women will have another UTI in 6 months, while 50% will have another within one year.1 UTIs result in close to 7 million office visits per year and run up a health-care tab of nearly $1.6 billion dollars.1
