The Southern African HIV Clinicians Society has released the new HIV treatment guidelines for 2017. These guidelines are intended as an update to those published in the Southern African Journal of HIV Medicine in 2014 and the update on when to initiate antiretroviral therapy in 2015.
Since the release of the previous guidelines, the scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in southern Africa has continued. New antiretroviral drugs have become available with improved efficacy, safety and more robustness.
The guidelines are intended for countries in the southern African region, which vary between lower and middle income.
