In June 1997, agencies of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), in collaboration with the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), published 1997 Guidelines for the Prevention of Opportunistic Infections in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) [1]. These guidelines are an update of those published in 1995 in several venues, including Annals of Internal Medicine [2]. They are intended for health care providers who care for HIV-infected persons and are reproduced here in an effort to reach and as a service to all internists who care for HIV-infected patients. In addition to other agencies, the American College of Physicians has endorsed these guidelines; this is the first time that the College has formally endorsed guidelines that emanated from outside the College.
Reprints of the 1997 USPHS/IDSA guidelines can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National AIDS Clearinghouse, PO Box 6003, Rockville, MD 20849-6003. Telephone 800-458-5231.
Reproduction of these guidelines is provided as a public and professional service of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, and is made possible by an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer, Inc.
