Core Tip

Core tip: In this minireview, we describe the Mayo Clinic model of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care that has evolved over 20 years of caring for persons living with HIV. Multidisciplinary, team-based engagement at each clinic visit is essential to providing optimal longitudinal care of these patients.
