Assessing the needs for HIV medical care in Hawai'i.

To assess HIV medical care needs in Hawai'i, data was collected through surveys of both providers and consumers, from insurance companies, from the Department of Health, and from key programs who serve the HIV-infected population. HIV care in Hawai'i is provided through a mix of private, public and charitable sources, with most ancillary services provided separately by AIDS Service Organizations. Private providers with a specialty in HIV care are not being replaced at the rate which they retire or depart.
