Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The first subgroup will consist of patients recruited from the Washington DC metropolitan area who will receive long-term care for their HIV infection through the NIAID/CCMD HIV clinic. The second subgroup will consist of patients with known or suspected HIV infection who have been referred to a NIAID/CCMD investigator for reasons such as further testing to diagnose or exclude HIV disease, assistance with the diagnosis or management of acute HIV-related problems. This latter subgroup of patients will be followed on a short-term (12 months or less). Following discharge from the protocol, Group II patients will be returned to the care of their referring physicians.
