Guidelines for the Clinical Management of HIV Infection in Myanmar (Fourth Edition)

This update will both augment and complement the 2011 Myanmar Guidelines published by the National AIDS Programme. In Myanmar, a country with limited resources and capacity, the available resources must be best employed to achieve the best possible solutions for People Living with HIV.

HIV is now a treatable condition and the majority of people who have HIV remain fit and well on treatment. Despite this, a significant number of people are unaware of their HIV infection and remain at risk to their own health and of unknowingly passing their virus on to others. Late diagnosis is the most important factor associated with HIV related morbidity and mortality. Patients should therefore be offered and encouraged to accept HIV testing in a wider range of settings.

The new guidelines will provide flexibility and versatility for all healthcare providers and accommodate the decentralized approach being undertaken by the National AIDS Programme (NAP).
