Since the 1990s, BHIVA has been producing guidelines for the management of HIV infection, which, while primarily intended for the use of UK physicians, have international influence.

Guidelines are drafted by our Writing Groups and then placed on the BHIVA website for consultation by all interested parties. Finalised guidelines are published, in the main, in HIV Medicine and are also available on the BHIVA website.

The endeavours of the Guidelines Subcommittee now encompass not only the treatment of antiretroviral diseases but also specific guidelines on adherence, the management of TB and hepatitis B, and C co-infected individuals, transplantation, immunisation, malignancy, opportunistic infections, reproductive and sexual health, and pregnancy.
