By John G. Bartlett, Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Infectious Diseases; 1st ed edition (2002)

The Abbreviated Guide to Medical Management of HIV Infection is intended for bedside clinical management decisions. The parent text, Medical Management of HIV Infection, provides the scientific foundation for recommendations.

The Abbreviated Guide differs in several ways: 1.) It provides complete recommendations but without the background data and references of the parent text; 2.) This Abbreviated Guide came out 6 months later, so it is more up to date; 3.) New features in the drug section include “patient instructions” and “warnings.” The author thanks Greg Lucas, M.D., Joel Gallant, M.D., and Paul Pham, Pharm. D. for reviews, edits, and comments. J.G. Bartlett, M.D.
