Brief Summary
Background: Antiretroviral therapy has changed the natural history of the HIV infection in developed countries becoming a chronic disease. This clinical scenario would need a new approach to control patients, simplifying the follow-up visits and the accessibility to the healthcare professionals. A new home care model using a telemedicine system (Virtual Hospital) was developed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical evaluation of patients cared through Virtual Hospital
The main goals were the definition, development, clinical routine installation and evaluation of a telemedicine service that compares standard care with telecare follow-up for attending stable HIV-infected patients in the chronic phase of their disease.
