clinical HIV resources – for patient care, physician training and self-study

Today is the 20th World AIDS Day and it is astounding how much and how quickly our clinical knowledge of HIV management has increased since 20 years ago. Treatment guidelines and recommendations are continuously updated as we learn more–this impacts clinical patient care from both the physicians’ side as well as the patients’. Below, I have listed some useful, clinically related links to online HIV resources for patient care, physician training or anyone who wants to learn more about the clinical aspects of HIV infection. Please let me know if you find any of these particularly useful!
