Richard Klein

Adult Treatment Guidelines
Updated The Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents has been revised to include up-to-date treatment information, including new recommendations for resistance testing, treatment interruption, and HBV/HIV co-infection. Tables have been revised to include up-to-date information about drug interactions and about the lopinavir/ritonavir 200/50 mg tablet formulation. Changes to the document are summarized in the "What's New in the Document?" section, and all changes to the document are highlighted in yellow throughout the text.

The updated guidelines document is available in the ADULT GUIDELINES section of the GUIDELINES page on the www.AIDSinfo.nih.gov website. The site also contains an option to order hard copies of the guidelines or request an electronic copy by e-mail.

AIDSinfo is also a useful source of other information related to HIV/AIDS, including other treatment and prevention guidelines, downloadable databases for PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and HIV/AIDS-related clinical trials information.
