New guidelines for HIV treatment; resistance testing now recommended
Abstract
AIDS: The Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents was updated on January 28, 2000. A major change in the guidelines is that viral resistance testing is recommended in treating patients on failing regimens or those whose viral load remains higher than it should be. Resistance testing is also recommended in treating acute infection, but is not generally recommended before starting treatment of chronic infection. The guidelines were developed by a panel of experts appointed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation. The guidelines are available in full text on the HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service (ATIS) Web site. Ordering information is provided.
