More than a million people are living with HIV in the United States, and Washington, D.C., has the highest infection rate in the country. No wonder more psychiatrists are seeing patients infected with and at risk for HIV infection than ever before. APA's Office of HIV Psychiatry and the Committee on AIDS will offer several programs to address the mental health and well-being of HIV-infected patients at this year's annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
