However, as its chronic nature has become apparent, the possibility that it could be managed more cost effectively in primary care has been raised. This has led to increasing interest in ‘shared care', that is, care which is shared between a general practitioner and a specialist according to clear protocols, for this group of patients. However, for ‘shared care' to be a success, it must be acceptable to all concerned: patients, GPs and specialists. This paper presents our experience of recruiting asymptomatic HIV-positive patients into a shared care programme: after 10 months' recruitment only 19 of 128 eligible patients had accepted the offer of shared care. The reasons for this, and alternative strategies for increasing GP involvement, are discussed. © Oxford University Press Original articles nationallicence Grun Lucia Department of Primary Health Care, UCLMS, Archway Site, Whittington Hospital, Highgate Hill, London N19 5NF, UK aut Murray Elizabeth Department of Primary Health Care, UCLMS, Archway Site, Whittington Hospital, Highgate Hill, London N19 5NF, UK aut Family Practice Oxford University Press 12/3(1995-09), 299-302 0263-2136 12:3<299 1995 12 famprj https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/12.3.299 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/12.3.299 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Grun Lucia Department of Primary Health Care, UCLMS, Archway Site, Whittington Hospital, Highgate Hill, London N19 5NF, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Murray Elizabeth Department of Primary Health Care, UCLMS, Archway Site, Whittington Hospital, Highgate Hill, London N19 5NF, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Family Practice Oxford University Press 12/3(1995-09), 299-302 0263-2136 12:3<299 1995 12 famprj Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
