| Summary |
The purpose of these guidelines is to set standards as the basis for the
use of ART drugs in South Africa on which training- and supportprogrammes
should be based.
All health care workers in the public and private sector are urged to
familiarise themselves with the content of these guidelines so that we,
together, provide the best possible and safest care for those with HIV
and AIDS in South Africa.
The field of ART is dynamic and changes fairly rapidly, thus these
guidelines will be reviewed periodically to ensure that South Africa
continues to provide quality care. |

Introduction
These guidelines serve to assist the clinic team in the management of
patients on antiretroviral drugs as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan
for HIV and AIDS Care, Management and Treatment. The approach
adopted is that of the continuum of care, with a holistic patient focus in
an integrated health system.
This system will be integrated from primary to tertiary levels, as well
as from the clinic to the community and from pre-diagnosis to
palliation whichever is appropriate. The focus is at the primary level
within the context of the district health system being implemented
throughout the country. These guidelines will be revised as necessary to
reflect the changing world of the treatment of HIV. This will ensure the
highest possible standard of care for all South Africans. |
