Abstract

Careful drug history should be elicited from HIV infected patient on ART by the attending primary care physician in order to avoid potential adverse effects from drug-drug interactions. In conclusion, primary care physicians have a significant role in early diagnosis of HIV infected people, ensuring wider access to early ART, ensuring the welfare of health care workers attending to possible HIV positive patients and safe long term follow up of HIV positive patients needing medications for non-HIV related ailments.
