Introduction

The overall purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance on best clinical practice for antiretroviral therapy (ART) and management of adults living with HIV. The scope includes: (i) guidance on the initiation of ART in those previously naïve to therapy; (ii) support of people living with HIV on treatment; (iii) management of individuals experiencing virological failure; and (iv) recommendations for specific populations where other factors need to be taken into consideration. The guidelines are for clinical professionals directly involved with and responsible for the care of adults living with HIV, and community advocates responsible for promoting the best interests and care of adults living with HIV. They should be read in conjunction with other published BHIVA guidelines.

The consultation was open for 1 month until 5.00pm on Thursday 9 June 2022 - the consultation is now closed.
