 AB    Emergency departments are frequently the entry point for patients
       infected with HIV. Psychiatric conditions may be the initial predominant
       presentation or an important concomitant factor. Because of the
       complexities of HIV infection, the serious medical nature of its
       associated psychiatric complications, the frequent presence of comorbid
       substance use and other behavioral disorders, and the multiple sites of
       treatment involved, psychiatrists, emergency physicians, and other
       professionals must work in collaboration in screening patients infected
       with HIV for mental disorders and in providing careful and rational
       care.
