In this study we assessed provision of these supposed services to Iranian HIV/AIDS patients referring to Behavioral CONSULTATION Centers.Methods: One hundred seventy one clinical files were selected by systematic random sampling from the files of all new HIV/AIDS patients accepted at Imam Khomeini behavioral CONSULTATION center who were registered during 2005-2006 and were followed for at least six months. Data were extracted from files and included CONSULTATION, VACCINATION, laboratory and treatment services. Results: Family planning and HIV prevention methods CONSULTATION were performed for 32.5% and 2.29% of patients respectively. CD4 count was done for 69% of patients. 65.6% of patients who needed anti-retroviral treatment were given medication. Hepatitis B and Td VACCINATION were done for 21.7% and 3.5% of patients respectively. Coverage of pneumococal and influenza VACCINATIONs was less than 5%. 79.5% of patients who needs tuberculosis prophylaxis were given medication. TB case finding was 14% during one year and the cure rate for patients under anti TB treatment were 95.8%.Conclusion: Coverage of CONSULTATIONs and VACCINATION services are very low. Antiretroviral therapy coverage is intermediate. TB case finding and its cure rate are appropriate.
