Training for this meeting

Training for this meeting will cover two subjects:

i) children and HIV - with a focus on treatment and treatment related issues for HIV-positive children - speaker to be confirmed.

ii) UK Treatment Guidelines - the BHIVA guidelines are being updated, so we can run an in-depth training session based on the existing guidelines and the changes that we expect in the next revision.

This session will therefore cover the controversial aspects around the main questions: when to start? which drugs to use? when to change treatment? access to viral load and resistance tests etc etc.

Five CAB members are already taking a lead in providing community input into the guidelines updates, and they can each present on their specialised area.
