Abstract

Rural communities often lack providers who are comfortable caring for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Family physicians are ideal providers to engage communities in HIV prevention, and care for PLWHA in areas that lack access to specialists. We implemented a comprehensive HIV management model into our residency curriculum to prepare residents to manage HIV in rural primary care settings.
