Abstract
In brief Team physicians are in a unique brief position to counsel athletes about HIV disease and AIDS-they may be the only medical resource that this predominantly healthy group regularly encounters. A team physician who establishes rapport with athletes and has a basic knowledge of the current information on HIV disease and AIDS has a unique opportunity to frankly discuss the issues surrounding HIV transmission, both on and off the field.
