Abstract

The authors evaluated receipt of recommended medical care for 133 HIV-infected and 101 at-risk San Francisco public health clinic patients. Fewer than half the patients received syphilis and tuberculosis screening, hepatitis B immunity testing or vaccination, and tetanus boosters. The HIV-infected persons were significantly (p < or = 0.01) more likely than the at-risk persons to receive preventive care, except for interventions specific to women. More than 80% of the HIV-infected persons received CD4 testing, zidovudine and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia prophylaxis, and pneumococcal vaccine. Only 40% of the at-risk persons reported having HIV-antibody testing recommended. Interventions to increase care delivery to HIV-infected and at-risk persons are needed.
