The Academy of Medicine of New Jersey surveyed approximately 10,000 member physicians during the fall of I988 and again in I989 to assess physicians' attitudes and activities with regard to counseling, testing and the management of HIV infection, as well as to evaluate the impact of continuing medical education (CME) in HIV on such attitudes and activities.
CME in AIDS has a significant and important positive relationship with physicians' personal involvement in all aspects of the identijlcation and management of HIVinfected patients. For planners of CME in AIDS for physicians, this survey clearly identifies areas in which greater emphasis must be placed. Special emphasis must be placed and more effective programs must be developed to provide direct practice and immediate feedback in counseling techniques related to partner notification, post-test counseling and risk assessment. Also, there needs to be special emphasis given in CME programs to the use of anti-HIV treatment and prophylaxis for opportunistic infections.
