Diagnosis and Management of HIV-2 in Adults-/-New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines 2022[Aug]; ä (ä): ä PMID32573998show ga
The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute (NYSDOH AI) developed this guideline for primary care providers and other clinicians who may diagnose and treat adults with HIV-2 infection. The guideline is designed to achieve the following goals: Inform clinicians about when to suspect and how to diagnose and manage the care of adults with HIV-2. Identify the similarities and differences in treatment for patients with HIV-1 and HIV-2. Recommend preferred antiretroviral (ARV) regimens for treatment and identify ARVs to avoid. Encourage clinicians to use the services of the NYSDOH Wadsworth Center, the New York State public health laboratory, for testing used in monitoring HIV-2. Integrate current evidence-based clinical recommendations into the healthcare-related implementation strategies of the Ending the Epidemic (ETE) initiative, which seeks to end the AIDS epidemic in New York State.
