In April, 2012 the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released treatment recommendations for HIV-infected individuals.
“Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended for all HIV-infected individuals”
It’s simple, straightforward and will save millions of lives by preventing HIV infections, preventing progression to AIDS and preventing millions of children from becoming orphans. Urge WHO to update their guidelines now. So all organizations involved can do the right thing.
I want WHO treatment guidelines updated now so that all HIV infected women, men and children can be treated, regardless of CD4 count or clinical status, as recommended by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in April, 2012. HIV infected people in poor countries are deserving of the best recommended treatment. It may cost more now, but it will cost a lot less later. Millions of HIV infections will be prevented, millions of HIV-infected individuals will not progress to AIDS, and millions of children will not become orphans.
“Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended for all HIV-infected individuals.” HHS guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-infected Adults and Adolescents, April 3, 2012.
The US has updated their guidelines - so should WHO.
