  • treatment of adults and adolescents
  • treatment of children
  • treatment of pregnant women and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV
  • prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in children

The guidelines are written, reviewed, and updated by panels of HIV experts from across the country. Panel members include physicians, pharmacists, researchers, and HIV treatment advocates.

Topics covered in the guidelines include:
  • the goals of HIV treatment
