The Clinical Edge

The Clinical Edge is a series of brief commentaries on topics of current interest in HIV care, prevention, and policy from the faculty of UCSF's HIV, ID & Global Medicine Division at ZSFG. It is sponsored by HIV InSite.

The Division's faculty members have been at the forefront of HIV care and research for more than 30 years. Our practice at Ward 86 at ZSFG is the first multidisciplinary outpatient clinic in the world dedicated to the care of patients with HIV/AIDS.

Please be advised that the authors' views are their own and are not intended to provide medical advice for specific patients.
