Provision of HIV/AIDS antiretroviral drugs

The provision of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) is just one part of the treatment and care that needs to be provided for HIV positive people. Although great efforts are being made to provide ARVs for resource poor communities, the reality is that for many communities it will be some time before ARVs are available. In the meantime there are many other things that can be provided, as described in this document, and these will not exclude the provision of ARVs when they are available. Indeed, when ARVs do become available the existence of these other services will make the provision of ARVs both easier and quicker.

When ARVs do become available, whether they are made available for asymptomatic people will depend on a number of different factors, and in particular the availability of CD4 tests, which measure the strength of a person's immune system. Where CD4 tests are available, the WHO recommends that ARVs should be offered to an asymptomatic person if they have a CD4 count below 200. If CD4 tests are not available then ARVs are generally not recommended for people who are asymptomatic. AVERT.org has more information about the WHO's recommendations and the provision of treatment in resource poor communities.
