Primary Care and HIV:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Module DescriptionThese days, many patients with HIV prefer to see the same medical provider to treat their HIV and Primary Care needs. The Academy's Primary Care and HIV Program highlights special considerations for HIV Specialists treating the Primary Care needs of their patients and informs Primary Care Providers about the unique considerations of people with HIV. Epidemiological studies suggest that being diagnosed with HIV itself serves as a traumatic experience for PTSD and contributes to increased rates of comorbid conditions, depression, and decreased medication adherence.
