Abstract
Conclusions:
1. Self-reported adherence with published guidelines for HCC screening is poor among primary providers for HIV/HCV coinfected patients, including HIV specialists and University-based providers.
2. Unnecessary imaging is also frequently ordered on non-cirrhotics, particularly by University-based providers.
3. Improved adherence to guidelines is needed among primary providers as over 50% of HCC's may be missed, and many patients many not be referred for subspecialty GI or Liver care, where screening practices may differ.
