Introduction

This briefing paper sets out principles and points to consider when planning any extension of the role of primary care and community health services in the management of patients with diagnosed HIV infection. It expands on and updates Standards for HIV Clinical Care, published in 2007 by the British HIV Association in partnership with the Royal College of Physicians, the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV and the British Infection Society.  It provides information to support personalised care planning for people with HIV and offers guidance to clinicians and commissioners in the light of wider re-configurations of primary, secondary and tertiary NHS services following the Next Stage Review.
