The "Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents" has been revised to include up-to-date treatment information, including drug regimens not to use as initial therapy, information about the recently approved protease inhibitor tipranavir, and additional information about several other antiretroviral drugs. Changes to the document are summarized in the “What’s New in the Document?” section, and all changes to the document are highlighted throughout the text.
