Abstract
Primary care physicians in rural California lacked in-depth experience with HIV disease. Experience was significantly associated with use of newer HIV management strategies, confidence, and consultation needs. Treating 4 or more patients with HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome may be the threshold above which primary care physicians rapidly adopt new strategies and have confidence in their care.
