Preface—About this <strong>Manual</strong> |<br />
Terms <strong>of</strong> Use<br />
This manual is intended <strong>for</strong> use in<br />
collaborative practice models, <strong>for</strong><br />
example, those involving medical,<br />
nursing, physician assistant, and<br />
pharmacy staff. Geographic variations<br />
in health care practice conventions<br />
and frequent changes in <strong>HIV</strong><br />
care require that clinicians maintain<br />
familiarity with current <strong>HIV</strong> practice<br />
standards. The treatment guidelines<br />
should be carefully reviewed<br />
by <strong>the</strong> clinical care team in your<br />
facility to make sure <strong>the</strong>y con<strong>for</strong>m<br />
to acceptable local and contemporary<br />
approaches. Medical treatment<br />
updates are posted frequently to<br />
several Web sites, including <strong>the</strong><br />
http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov site,<br />
and it is re<strong>com</strong>mended that every<br />
provider be familiar with all relevant<br />
guidelines.<br />

re<strong>com</strong>mendations are not intended<br />

Health and Human Services<br />
(DHHS) guidelines, and may<br />
not include <strong>the</strong> full range <strong>of</strong><br />
treatment options <strong>for</strong> all <strong>HIV</strong>infected<br />
patients. Independent<br />
verification <strong>of</strong> all in<strong>for</strong>mation is<br />
necessary be<strong>for</strong>e undertaking care<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>HIV</strong>-infected clients, particularly<br />
in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> rapidly changing<br />
<strong>HIV</strong> treatment standards. Some<br />
re<strong>com</strong>mendations are not in<br />
accord with U.S. Food and Drug<br />
Administration (FDA)-approved<br />
usage <strong>for</strong> certain drugs, but are<br />
based on findings from clinical trials<br />
and re<strong>com</strong>mendations from expert<br />
providers. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
