Journal Scan

Journal Scan is a literature review service from the clinicians at the AETC National Resource Center. Every quarter, we review HIV/AIDS-related articles from thirteen major publications* , and select a few articles of immediate utility to the busy practitioner. All selections include a link to the PubMed entry, where users with institutional access or subscriptions can view the full text of the article. In cases where we feel it would be of value, we provide a summary or commentary on the article findings.

This page lists selections in reverse chronological order. You may also view articles by topic .
