Act Up Philadelphia: HIV/AIDS adult standard of care

Critical Path AIDS project, 1998

Abstract

The minimum standards of care for persons with HIV are detailed. Patients should be cared for by HIV-experienced physicians. Viral load monitoring should be a part of the treatment program and aggressive therapy should be considered unless current treatments provide stable viral loads. Current Johns Hopkins guidelines say that doctors should, for instance, never use monotherapy, should not add a protease inhibitor to a failing regimen, and should use full-dose treatments. Tables describe the tests and treatments appropriate for a variety of CD4 levels.
