Abstract
MARTINEZ-SANZ, Javier and GRUPO DE TRABAJO DE ATENCION COMPARTIDA EN VIH (SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MEDICINA DE FAMILIA Y COMUNITARIA [SEMFYC] Y GRUPO DE ESTUDIO DEL SIDA DE LA SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ENFERMEDADES INFECCIOSAS Y MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA [GESIDA SEIMC]) et al. Executive summary of the consensus document on the shared care of patients with HIV infection between primary and hospital care
The current reality of the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection justifies a multidisciplinary and coordinated approach between primary care and hospital care. This entails a two-way relationship and communication between the two care settings. This consensus document, coordinated by the AIDS Study Group of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC-GeSIDA) and the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC), arose because of this need. Here, the recommendations of the four blocks that comprise it are summarized: the first tackles aspects of prevention and diagnosis of HIV infection; the second contemplates the clinical care and management of people living with HIV; the third deals with social aspects, including legal and confidentiality issues, quality of life, and the role of NGOs; finally, the fourth block addresses two-way and shared training/teaching and research.
