This report presents the key points and recommendations that emerged during two technical consultations with people living with HIV (PLHIV) at the IAS 2009 and ICAAP 2009 conferences and an e-consultation on the forthcoming revision of the WHO’s Recommendations for Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for HIV Infection in Adults and Adolescents (ART Guidelines).
The consultations represented the start of a unique consultative process between WHO and communities of PLHIV to understand what PLHIV want from their treatment programmes, and what will and will not be acceptable to include in the next ART guidelines revision.
