For successful ART
hDo not initiate ARVs too soon:When the CD4 count is high or in patients with no symptoms8If ARVs are started too soon, the patient will incur
the risks of therapy (side effects, viral resistance) without the clinical benefits
hDo not initiate ARVs too late: 8If ARVs are started too late, the patient will be at
high risk for clinical complications of AIDSHowever, it is still possible to start ARV in patents with very advanced disease
2005/4/18 WHO-WPRO; HIV Care 14 WPRO
Manage OIs and other conditions before ART
h Stabilize OIs and other acute infections before commencing ART, in principle
h TB (next slide)
h Treat esophageal candidiasis but commence ART as soon as can swallow pills
h Anemia (Hb<8): Look for treatable cause (e.g. blood loss, malaria, MAC, etc.), use no-AZT containing regimen
h Pregnancy: Commence ART after the 1st trimester, Avoid EFV for pregnant women or women with the potential
h Conditions which may be improved/resolved with ARTMAC, CMV, Chronic diarrhea, Skin conditions such as PPE, seborrheic dermatitis

Key Elements of Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment
Mobilization & coordination of key players incl. PHA Public health and clinical services (incl. TB, ANC/MCH, STI), PHA, CBO, Local authority, FBO and NGOReferral across and within levels for organizing entry points toand continuity of carePromotion of PHA group development and peer supportParticipation of PHA in planning, implementation and evaluation

Identifying level of focus for rapid expansion
hIn Africa where HIV prevalence is very high, decentralized service delivery at PHC/community level is being developed
hIn selected countries in Asia with HIV prevalence of 0.1-3%, what level of service delivery should be the focus?

Provincial/Tertiary
District/Intermediate
Health Centre & Home-Community
- Management of complicated cases- Specialized services & support
- Comprehensive services including ART & coordination- PHA group formation & peer support
- ART adherence support - Basic care

District or intermediate level of service delivery as the focus
hWith capacity to provide HIV/AIDS clinical management of common OIs & basic ART
hHas sufficient numbers of PHAs to form groups
hIs not too far for PHAs to access care (e.g. transportation)
hNot too close to home and community where stigma and discrimination is still a barrier
