In the battle against acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), focusing treatment on early intervention of its underlying condition, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, may help reduce the disability associated with AIDS. A comprehensive care hospital unit featuring physicians with expertise in HIV treatment, clinical research activities, and home health services may offer the most effective care for HIV patients. The preventive nature of comprehensive care also can reduce costs through decreased hospitalization, integrated hospital revenue centers, patients' minimized lost work time, and reduction of medical disability.
