The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Threapy and Medical Management of Children Living with HIV have made revisions to the March 1, 2016, Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection including key updates to several sections. Areas of revision include:
- Diagnosis of HIV Infection
- What Drugs to Start: Initial Combination Therapy for Antiretroviral Treatment – Naive Children
- Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy in Children and Adolescents Living with HIV
- Management of Children Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy
- Role of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Management of Pediatric HIV Infection
- Pediatric Antiretroviral Drug Information
Additionally, text and references throughout the document were updated to include relevant new data and publications. In response to community input, edits were made to continue to incorporate People First Language (e.g. changes from use of “HIV-infected children” to “children living with HIV”). Consequently, there was also a change in the Panel’s name to that listed above.
