Features of the clinical course of HIV infection in the absence of antiretroviral therapy

1st year resident Maria Vishnevetskaya (supervisor - Associate Professor, Candidate of Medical Sciences Anastasia Zotova) spoke about an adult patient who denied the diagnosis for 7 years and did not take appropriate therapy.

Particular attention was paid to the role of epidemiological history and laboratory methods.

The conference ended with a call for further study of current recommendations and specialized literature, as well as the publication of such cases in scientific journals to improve the skills of future infectious disease specialists.
