Consolidated guidelines on the use of antiretroviral drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection: what’s new

World Health Organisation (WHO) - "The 2015 guidelines includes 10 new recommendations to improve the quality and efficiency of services to people living with HIV. Implementation of the recommendations in these guidelines on universal eligibility for ART will mean that more people will start ART earlier.

The updated guidelines present both new recommendations and previous WHO guidance. They include clinical recommendations (“the what” of using ARVs for treatment and prevention) and service delivery recommendations to support implementation (“the how” of providing ARVs), organized according to the continuum of HIV testing, prevention, treatment and care (Fig.1). For the first time the guideline includes “good practice statements” on interventions whose benefits substantially outweigh the potential harms."
