Expert guidance

When forming a new regimen, it’s especially important to have expert guidance when making these complex decisions. People who see an HIV experienced doctor are less likely to face disease progression than those who see doctors with less experience.

For those who can’t see an ex­perienced doctor, a regional AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) site may help provide expert guidance to your doctor. You can reach these centers at www.aids-ed.org or by having your doctor call 1-800-933-3413 (not available to patients). Lastly, the American Academy of HIV Medicine at www.aahivm.org can guide doctors and patients to other doctors who the Academy certifies as HIV specialists.
