You and your doctor: ideas on managing one of the most important relationships in your life.


 Patients with HIV and AIDS develop long-term relationships with their doctors, and research suggests that when these relationships are strong, they contribute to survival. Guidelines are included for picking doctors and working with them effectively. Most patients will have at least several doctors to choose from, although the choice of doctors may be limited by insurance guidelines or proximity to their facilities. Doctors with experience treating HIV are the best choice. Doctors should attend conferences and keep up with developments in the field by subscribing to treatment newsletters. The ideal doctor will not have any prejudices about the patient's lifestyle, and will take the time to explain treatments and options. Doctors should also be willing to discuss inadequate time allotment's for treating the patient with the managed care provider. To simplify treatment, patients need to use their time effectively, be prepared with a list of questions, and readily provide their medical history and know which drugs they are taking. Several references are included for managing the doctor-patient relationship most effectively.
