Description
These guidelines provide guidance on the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the care of people living with HIV and the use of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection. The guidelines are structured along the continuum of HIV testing, prevention, treatment and care. The goal of these guidelines is to further expand access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), initiate treatment earlier and expand the use of ARV drugs for HIV prevention.
