Summary:

This Guide is based on discussions with health care workers, researchers and program managers from South-East Asia and the Western Pacific Regions and the experiences from scaling-up ART and harm reduction services. The Guide is complementary to the global ART guidelines and considers the need of physicians, program planners, other health care workers, people living with HIV, and drug users to have one simplified user-friendly reference guide for the national adaptation on management of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy for IDUs.
