HIV/Viral Hepatitis - a guide for primary care (pdf 731kb)

This guide was conceived as a resource to provide general practitioners and other interested health care workers with an introduction to HIV and viral hepatitis.

The aim of the guide is to provide a practical manual for risk assessment, testing, diagnosis and basic principles of management of HIV and viral hepatitis, by reviewing epidemiology, transmission, virology, history-taking, signs and symptoms, assessment and primary care management of these chronic viral conditions.

The primary audience is intended to be clinicians who test for HIV and viral hepatitis and those who provide non-specialist care for infected patients. Physicians, medical students, nurses, allied health professionals, as well as individuals with a specific interest in these conditions, may also find HIV/Viral hepatitis useful.
