The patient with Advanced HIV Disease in the acute setting

This presentation focuses on managing ill patients with HIV who present in a Casualty or A&E setting. Using the SAHCS Advanced HIV DIsease guidelines, Dr Muller discusses a systematic approach to assessing and stabilising the patient with advanced disease. Including presentations such as Shortness of Breath, Meningitis signs, Neurological fallout, diarrhoea and altered mental state. It also briefly covers the baseline work-up of the patient in A&E or Thuthuzela who is found to be HIV positive (as an incidental finding). This webinar was recorded live at the Family Medicine / A&E CPD meeting at CMH in June 2024. Facilitated by Dr Madeleine Muller, Family Physician CMH and Senior Lecturer WSU
