With appropriate care and antiretroviral therapy, persons with HIV can achieve undetectable viral loads, resulting in the virtual elimination of opportunistic infection risk, an improved quality of life, and a normal life expectancy. The optimal urgent care management of persons with HIV includes the diagnosis of new cases, the prevention of HIV acquisition, and the provision of services for re-engagement and reconnection of out-of-care persons with HIV back to the care of an HIV clinician. This issue of Evidence-Based Urgent Care reviews the role of urgent care clinics and clinicians in preventing, screening for, and diagnosing new HIV infections. The urgent care management of persons with HIV is also discussed, including patients who have suppressed viral loads and patients with untreated HIV.
