Case Study^
Quinn, a 20-year-old man, visits an outpatient clinic. He appears to be weak and
-lethargic. Quinn tells the health care provider that he feels like he has a bad case of the
flu. He states he has night sweats that drench the bed, and that he has lost around 10
pounds since becoming ill. He seems anxious and admits that he has had unprotected sex
with two male partners over the last few months. The care pro-vider examines Quinn and
documents that he has a fever and swollen lymph nodes^
in his neck.
