 AB    The number of patients with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS
       (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) has increased to the point that
       every podiatric physician in this country will be treating patients who
       are HIV positive, knowingly or not. Podiatric physicians continue to be
       part of the medical team that must bear responsibility for the rapid
       changes in HIV education. Attention must be focused on educating
       physicians about all aspects of this disease, especially the primary and
       secondary diseases of AIDS and new treatments and their side effects.
       Sterile technique and universal precautions have now taken on new
       importance.
