HIV, GPs & other primary care

Effective treatment means that, for many people, HIV is now a long-term, manageable medical condition. Primary care services – those provided by general practitioners (GPs, or family doctors), dentists and other community-based medical services – can offer important services for people with HIV, providing long-term health care and support. This booklet explains the services they offer, how this care fits with HIV specialist care, and how to make the most of primary care services.
