Are there guidelines for <strong>HIV</strong> care?<br />
The Department <strong>of</strong> Health and Human Services has<br />
sponsored several guidelines panels composed <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>HIV</strong> clinical experts <strong>to</strong> develop evidence-based and<br />
consensus-driven practice recommendations for the<br />
provision <strong>of</strong> <strong>HIV</strong> care. These guidelines are updated<br />
regularly, and are posted on the <strong>of</strong>ficial website <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>AIDS</strong>Info, a service <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Health<br />
and Human Services at http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov.<br />
Currently available Federal guidelines address the<br />
following <strong>to</strong>pics:<br />
ART for adults and adolescents<br />
ART for pediatric <strong>HIV</strong><br />
Perinatal screening, prevention, and care<br />
Healthcare worker exposure<br />
Nonoccupational exposure<br />
Prevention <strong>of</strong> opportunistic infections<br />
Management <strong>of</strong> tuberculosis<br />
Incorporation <strong>of</strong> <strong>HIV</strong> prevention in<strong>to</strong> care<br />
Nutrition<br />
New York State has sponsored an <strong>HIV</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>lines<br />
Program since 1985 through which independent<br />
guidelines are developed that specifically target frontline<br />
providers and contain concise recommendations<br />
for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners,<br />
and physician assistants. In addition <strong>to</strong> guidelines<br />
for adults and children, other guidelines specifically<br />
address mental health and oral health for persons <strong>with</strong><br />
<strong>HIV</strong>. These guidelines, along <strong>with</strong> information about<br />
implementation strategies, including best practices,<br />
quality improvement methods, and success s<strong>to</strong>ries, can<br />
be found at http://www.hivguidelines.org.<br />
ELECTRONIC AND WEB-<br />
BASED RESOURCES<br />
Which web-based resources are most useful?<br />
Numerous websites provide useful information about<br />
<strong>HIV</strong>. While it is beyond the scope <strong>of</strong> this chapter <strong>to</strong><br />
provide a comprehensive listing <strong>of</strong> all <strong>HIV</strong>-related<br />
websites, Table 18-3 is a partial listing <strong>of</strong> some<br />
particularly useful ones. Websites in the Search Engines<br />
category allow the user <strong>to</strong> enter a <strong>to</strong>pic <strong>of</strong> interest and<br />
obtain a list <strong>of</strong> other websites or resources from which<br />
<strong>to</strong> choose. There are search engines that are general<br />
as well as medical. Websites in the Resource Listings<br />
category provide lists <strong>of</strong> <strong>HIV</strong> resources, including<br />
agencies, other websites, and informational materials.<br />
The General <strong>HIV</strong> Resources category contains some <strong>of</strong><br />
