 AB    BACKGROUND: Educating a spectrum of primary care providers in the
       management of HIV disease is one of the important challenges of the
       HIV/AIDS pandemic. While experienced clinicians are often called upon to
       teach others, they may have limited access to educational materials to
       support their presentations. OBJECTIVE/METHODS: To develop a set of
       low-cost, annotated HIV teaching slides to support self-study by primary
       care providers and to enhance didactic presentations by experienced
       clinicians. RESULTS: Two 80-slide volumes have been produced which
       review the natural history, pathogenesis, and spectrum of HIV disease,
       and also provide an introduction to the management of HIV disease in the
       primary care setting. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary evaluation indicates that
       an annotated slide series is effective in self-study and conference
       formats with a wide spectrum of providers, and compares favorably with
       textbooks, journal articles and other media as a means of providing
       HIV/AIDS education. This medium could be easily adapted for use by
       regional or national AIDS agencies to support the dissemination of
       clinical information by experienced primary care providers.
