Abstract
On January 10, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced the latest revision of its guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents. The recent update does not introduce major changes related to when to start antiretroviral therapy or what drugs to use, but it includes new recommendations related to CD4 count and viral load testing, as well as for treatment of HIV-infected individuals with hepatitis B or tuberculosis.
