New European guidelines launched
HIV Treatment Bulletin - Vol. 8, No. 11&12, November/December 2007
The conference saw the launch of three sets of very useful summary guidelines, produced by the European AIDS Clinical Society.
Guidelines for the clinical management and treatment of HIV-infected adults in Europe http://www.eacs.eu/guide/1_Treatment_of_HIV_Infected_Adults.pdf [244 Kb]
Guidelines on the prevention and management of metabolic diseases in HIV http://www.eacs.eu/guide/2_Prevention_and_Management_of_Metabolic_diseases_in_HIV.pdf [396 Kb]
Guidelines for the clinical management and treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C co-infection in HIV-infected adults http://www.eacs.eu/guide/3_Treatment_chronic_hepatitis_coinfection.pdf [212 Kb]
Presentations on each of these guidelines, including case studies, are available online
Comment
Many of the recommendations in these summary tables are more appropriate than the recently published 2007 WHO European guidelines. It would be useful if EACS doctors were also involved into the WHO guidelines, for consistency and a better standard of clinical care.
