摘要

The paper by Hekkink et al. reports on a research project with two major aims. First to compare the quality of care that HIV-infected patients receive from HIV nursing consultants, HIV specialists and general practitioners; and second, to compare HIV patients' opinions about care delivered by HIV nurse consultants with the opinions of patients with rheumatic diseases regarding care received from specialist nurses. The study, conducted in the Netherlands, was a cross sectional questionnaire survey of 226 patients with HIV infection and 128 with rheumatic disease.
