More and more, primary care providers are recognizing the neuropsychiatric and psychiatric sequelae of HIV infection. With more than 1 million people currently infected in the United States, chances are that you will be asked to play a role in their health care. APA's Office of HIV Psychiatry and the APIRE HIV Steering Committee will offer several programs to address the mental health and well-being of HIV-infected patients at APA's 2010 annual meeting. Geared to psychiatrists with varying levels of expertise, the programs will provide updated information on HIV-related complications and treatments.
