| About This Manual | |
| Background | | This guide is the collaborative effort of clinical faculty associated with the AIDS
Education and Training Centers (AETC). The 2006 edition comes 13 years after the
first edition, which was produced by the Midwest AIDS Training and Education Center
(MATEC) and the Southeast AIDS Training and Education Center (SEATEC). The original
manual was conceived to address the needs of the "midlevel" clinician--advanced
practice nurses, physician assistants, etc.--who comprise a significant proportion
of the HIV primary care providers in the United States (and elsewhere). Experience
has shown us that the whole range of providers--physicians, pharmacists, nurse
practitioners and advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and
others, appreciate the nuts-and-bolts format of the guide. This edition maintains
the practical approach of prior editions, but its content has been broadened
somewhat, in recognition of its wide audience. |
| Terms of Use | | This manual is intended for use in collaborative practice models, for example, those
involving medical, nursing, physician assistant, and pharmacy staff. Geographic
variations in health care practice conventions and frequent changes in HIV care
require that clinicians maintain familiarity with current HIV practice standards.
The treatment guidelines should be carefully reviewed by the clinical care team in
your facility to make sure they conform to acceptable local and contemporary
approaches. Medical treatment updates are posted frequently to several Web sites,
including the http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov
site, and it is recommended that every provider be familiar with
all relevant guidelines. This manual may be reproduced in whole or in part for noncommercial use, with
appropriate attribution. However, reproduction for commercial purposes is
prohibited. Please note that these treatment recommendations are not intended to
replace clinical research literature or current U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) guidelines, and may not include the full range of treatment options
for all HIV-infected patients. Independent verification of all information is
necessary before undertaking care of HIV-infected clients, particularly in the face
of rapidly changing HIV treatment standards. Some recommendations are not in accord
with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved usage for certain drugs, but
are based on findings from clinical trials and recommendations from expert
providers. For more information or to offer comments, please contact us at
