 AB    Good communication between hospital HIV units and general practitioners
       is essential if people with HIV are to receive appropriate medical care
       in the community. However, in the UK the experience of general
       practitioners looking after people with HIV has been that communication
       is often inadequate. The reasons for this relate to the way that the HIV
       epidemic has evolved in the UK and the way that health services
       providing care in HIV have developed. In this review we will examine the
       causes of the present situation and suggest ways of improving
       communication which will have beneficial effects on the care of people
       with HIV.
