Health care use by human immunodeficiency virus-infected students at a California student health service.

We report characteristics of 16 college students with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection but without the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who received care at a student health center at a major university in California. Sociodemographic and clinical data and medical expenditures were obtained retrospectively from medical charts and computerized billing records. All 16 students were men who had sex with men, and 3 had also used intravenous drugs. Dermatologic conditions, upper respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal conditions, anemia, lymphadenopathy, sexually transmitted diseases, and ophthalmologic conditions were more frequent among HIV-infected students than among the general student population using the health center. On average, HIV-infected students visited the student health service about 3 times more often and incurred charges about 10 times higher than the general population of students visiting the health center. Student health centers, which have been at the forefront of developing strategies for HIV prevention, education, and counseling, must also develop treatment programs for HIV-infected students.

Staff and student perceptions of a student health service.

Results of a survey at one English university suggest that, of the various student personnel services provided by that institution, the Student Health Service was the best known and most used by the students. Both students and academic staff attributed greater importance to that particular service than to any other. Ways in which these two groups of university members justified such special provision are presented and discussed.

Asthma and its management at a student health service.

Of 96 asthmatic students 62 said their asthma had not required them to give up any activity but only seven said it had not interfered in some way with their sport. Thirty-nine regarded their asthma as an annoyance and 13 of these were angered by it. Fifty-seven respondents took treatment continuously and the most favoured agent in attacks was salbutamol. Peak flow meters were not used regularly except by six students. About two-thirds had significant deficiencies in their knowledge of asthma and the most popular source of information was the general practitioner. Only 30 had read the Asthma Foundation pamphlets.
