Paediatric HIV/antiretroviral therapy and care guideline review
WHO technical reference group meeting | 10 - 11 April 2008, Geneva, Switzerland
In April 2008 the WHO technical reference group for paediatric HIV/antiretroviral therapy and care met to consider the implications of recent research findings for existing WHO guidelines for treatment and care of infants infected with HIV. As a result of this consultation and based on thorough review of data, the group revised recommendations for diagnostic testing, initiation of treatment, and treatment regimens for HIV-exposed and HIV infected infants.
A full agenda of the meeting, PowerPoint presentations with evidence summaries and the meeting report are provided here.
