Abstract: The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) within HRSA in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is embarking on a 24-month quantitative HIV clinician workforce study to provide HRSA and other federal and state agencies with national and regional estimates of the number of primary care clinicians providing medical care to people living with HIV or AIDS in the United States, as well as projections of the magnitude of the shortage or surplus of HIV-related primary care clinicians through 2015. The study focuses on the supply and demand of health professionals who treat and manage care for patients living with HIV and AIDS. The primary purpose of the survey is to collect comprehensive information necessary for developing HIV-specific input parameters for the workforce forecasting model.
