Recommended Principles of Antiretroviral Therapy in HIV Disease Scientific

In 2005, the predecessor of this Committee, Scientific Committee on AIDS, published its set of recommended principles of antiretroviral therapy to provide general guidance for the use of antiretrovirals in Hong Kong. The document stated nine major principles of antiretroviral use.

Since then, progress has been made in the realm of HIV management. There have also been corresponding changes in local practice. This Committee therefore undertook to re-examine the document with a view to updates where appropriate. As before, the effort focussed on major principles rather than details of antiretroviral use.
