 AB    The authors evaluated receipt of recommended medical care for 133
       HIV-infected and 101 at-risk San Francisco public health clinic
       patients. Fewer than half the patients received syphilis and
       tuberculosis screening, hepatitis B immunity testing or vaccination, and
       tetanus boosters. The HIV-infected persons were significantly (p < or =
       0.01) more likely than the at-risk persons to receive preventive care,
       except for interventions specific to women. More than 80% of the
       HIV-infected persons received CD4 testing, zidovudine and Pneumocystis
       carinii pneumonia prophylaxis, and pneumococcal vaccine. Only 40% of the
       at-risk persons reported having HIV-antibody testing recommended.
       Interventions to increase care delivery to HIV-infected and at-risk
       persons are needed.
