The World Health Organization (WHO) is revising the consolidated guidelines on the use of antiretroviral drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection. The updated guidelines to be released in December 2015 will update the guidance from 2013 and include new areas such as the use of laboratory diagnostics, improving the quality of care, treatment of other comorbidities and treatment and delivery of HIV care for adolescents.
Guidelines Development Groups (GDG) of external experts are being formed to monitor the progress of the guidelines and to provide views at several points to make sure that the final guidelines contain recommendations based on the best available evidence and are relevant for people living with HIV.
WHO Department of HIV/AIDS is seeking nominations from civil society organisations and people living with HIV to participate as members of the Clinical and Operational GDGs. (For more information, click here.)
If you are interested, please send your expression of interest to Rachel Beanland beanlandr@who.int and rachelbeanland@doctors.org.uk.
Put "WHO 2015 GL call for nominations" in the subject line.
The deadline is 30th January 2015.
