 Thanks for your post. I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. There's a wealth of information in the US Department of Health and Human Services Guidelines. Here's the link: http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/Guidelines/GuidelineDetail.aspx?MenuItem=Guidelines&Search=Off&GuidelineID=7&ClassID=1 As for doctors, I always advise talking to your local AIDS Service Organization (ASO; check out ASOfinder.com). Another useful resource is the American Academy of HIV Medicine's find a provider engine (AAHIVM.org). In Atlanta, there are excellent HIV services- to name a few, ARCA and Grady University hospital. Good luck, BY | ||||||||
