AIDS Researcher Calls for New Paradigm
In a manuscript published in the April 12 edition of Current HIV/AIDS Reports Dr. Amy Justice suggests the aging of HIV requires a new paradigm of care. She posits that the chronic nature of the illness necessitates a method of care that maximizes functional status, minimizes frailty, and prolongs life expectancy.
