INTRODUCTION AIDSFree has built upon the National Treatment Guidelines Database developed during AIDSTAR-One. The objective of the Database is to provide policymakers, program planners, and clinicians with the most up-to-date treatment guidelines available; create a central location to house updated national guidelines (facilitating cross-country comparisons and serving as a resource to implementers in multiple country settings); provide a Summary Table that includes an evaluation of concordance with the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2015 Consolidated Guidelines (enabling countries to determine if their treatment guidelines require updating); and provide multiple treatment guidelines per country (i.e., adult and pediatric HIV, TB, PMTCT, and PEP) all in one location, thus increasing ease of access to guidelines for global audiences.

The following tables provide summary HIV treatment guidelines for adults, adolescents, infants and children, and pregnant and lactating women that have been collected and summarized by AIDSFree. Guidelines were reviewed for 24 countries in 2017 including Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Myanmar (Burma), Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Efforts were made to identify the most up-to-date treatment guidelines available through internet searches and contacting JSI’s and other AIDSFree partner’s country offices. In some cases there may be updated treatment guidelines that the AIDSFree team did not obtain.

The tables include information on first-, second-, and third-line treatment regimens, and indicate whether TB/HIV co-infection was addressed within the HIV guidelines. The annex at the end presents information on each country's accordance with the 2015 WHO treatment initiation guidelines (the most recent guidance available at the time of publication of most country guidelines) by population.

Adults Pregnant Women Breastfeeding women

ARV Treatment Start ARV treatment in any patient: • Stage 1 or 2 of the WHO classification or stage A and B of the CDC classification if CD4 count ≤ 500 cells/mm3. However, priority should be given to patients with CD4 ≤350• Stages 3 and 4 of the WHO classification of stage C of the CDC classification regardless of the CD4 lymphocyte count• HIV/HBV coinfection regardless of the CD4 count• In any HIV+ person in a serodiscordant couple regardless of the CD4 count• Key populations infected with HIV (SW, MSM, IDU) regardless of CD4 count• Pregnant women regardless of CD4 count• Breastfeeding women regardless of CD4 count

Preferred: Individual management of confirmed cases and the therapeutic choice in case of failure in the 2nd line will be

guided by the resistance profile (genotyping). Also the third-line

regimens should include new ARV with proven HIV activity: second

generation PI (Darunavir/ritonavir), anti integrase (Raltegravir vs dolutegravir). The choice of

treatment will take into account the level of viral load and sensitivity.

Infants PMTCT As the mother is known to be HIV-infected

Start giving NVP syrup as soon as possible after birth. The earlier the start, the more effective. NVP syrup can be started anytime between birth and 4 weeks of age if the mother presents late. Starting NVP prophylaxis later is less effective and may cause drug-resistant HIV if the baby is already infected (and needs to start ART). Stop giving NVP syrup when the infant is 6 weeks old. The infant will receive less than 6 weeks of prophylaxis if NVP syrup has been started late.

The dose of NVP syrup remains the same for the whole 6 week period - do not change the dose according to age or body weight, etc.

Use the standard dose (1.5ml) if birth weight is unknown (home birth/ no scale).

Birth weight 2500g or less 1.0 ml NVP (10mg per ml) 24-hourly

Birth weight over 2500g or unknown

1.5 ml NVP (10 mg per ml) 24-hourly

a) If RAL is not available, no change is recommended unless in the case of advanced clinical disease progression or lack of adherence specifically due to poor palatability of LPV/r. In this case, switching to a second-line NVP-based regimen should be considered. Based on approval of the use of EFV in children less than 3 years, an EFV-based regimen could be considered as an alternative. However, more data are needed to inform how best to use EFV in this population.

Infants PMTCT ARV prophylaxis for HIV exposed infants is administered based on the level of risk of HIV for the infant.

A high risk infant is defined as follows:1. High maternal viral load >1000copies/ml during the last 4 weeks before delivery or2. An infant born to HIV infected woman who has received less than 4 weeks of ART at the time of delivery or3. An infant born to a newly diagnosed HIV infected woman during labor, delivery and postpartum (Incident HIV infection)

All infants who do not meet the criteria for ‘high-risk’ infants are classified as ‘low-risk’ infants. The table below shows infant prophylactic ARV regimens by risk stratification.

Health workers should offer high-risk infants dual ARV prophylaxis of AZT and NVP for 12 weeks post- delivery.

Birth weight 2000−2499 gmDosing NVP:10 mg once daily(1 ml of syrup once daily)Dosing AZT:10 mg twice daily(1 ml of syrup twice daily)

Infants> 6 weeks to 12 weeks

PMTCT Both high and low risk infants should be provided with prophylaxis.

Low risk HIV exposed infant:Known HIV-positive mother who has been on ART for more than 12 weeks--> Provide AZT/NVP for 6 weeks

High risk HIV exposed infant:1. Born to woman with established HIV infection not on ART; or:2. Born to woman with established HIV infection and having received less than 12 weeks of ART at the time of delivery; or:3. Born to woman with established HIV infection with viral load >1000 copies/mL within the four weeks before delivery.--> Provide AZT/NVP for 12 weeks

High risk HIV exposed infant born to known HIV positive woman who refuses ART--> Provide Prophylactic AZT/NVPuntil confirmed final outcome HIV negative after complete cessation of breastfeeding

NVP 20 mg once dailyandAZT: use treatment dose 60 mg twice daily.

Birth to <6 weeks oldBirth weight ≥ 2500g

NVP 15 mg once dailyandAZT 15mg twice daily

Birth to <6 weeks oldBirth weight2000g - 2499g **

TB/HIV Co-Infection addressed under HIV Guidelines: Yes

AdultsPregnant WomenBreastfeeding WomenAdolescents(10 - 19 years) ≥ 35kg

ARV Treatment All individuals with a confirmed HIV diagnosis are eligible for antiretroviral therapy (ART) irrespective of WHO clinical stage and CD4 count level, i.e. TREAT ALL.

As a priority, initiate ART in all individuals with severe or advanced HIV clinical disease (WHO clinical stage 3 or 4) or CD4 count less than or equal to 350 cells/mm3.

It is also recommended to initiate ART, as a priority, in the following categories of patients regardless of CD4 cell count:- Active TB disease- Pregnant and breastfeeding women with HIV- Individuals with HIV in serodiscordant relationshipsHBV co-infection with severe chronic liver disease

Preferred first line regimen:TDF + 3TC + EFV

Alternative Regimens:TDF + 3TC + NVPAZT + 3TC + EFVAZT + 3TC + NVP

If TDF was used in first line ART:AZT + 3TC + ATV/r or LPV/r

If AZT was used in first line ART:TDF + 3TC + ATV/r or LPV/r

Those failing second-line therapy will need to be referred for Specialist assessment which includes viral load and may be genotype testing prior to recommending the third-line medicines.

In adolescents > 12 years and adults, the preferred 3rd line ART regimen is Dolutegravir (50mg) and Darunavir (600 mg)/Ritonavir (100 mg) twice daily (for PI-experienced patients). Raltegravir (400 mg) twice a day can be used when DTG is not available. (Safety and efficacy data on the use of DTG in adolescents younger than 12 years and pregnant women are not yet available.)

Pregnant WomenBreastfeeding Women

PMTCT All HIV positive pregnant and breastfeeding women should initiate lifelong ART as soon possible after their HIV positive status is confirmed irrespective of their CD4 count or WHO clinical stage; and continue ART throughout the breastfeeding period and beyond.

TDF + 3TC + EFV600

Alternative options:AZT + 3TC + EFV600AZT + 3TC + NVPTDF + 3TC + NVP

Children< 10 years

ARV Treatment ART should be initiated in ALL children living with HIV, regardless of WHO clinical stage and at any CD4 count. Children less than 5 years old or with WHO clinical stage III/IV or CD4 < 25% (< 5 years) or ≤ 350 (>5 years) should be a priority.

Early ART initiation in infants as soon as birth PCR results are available. ALWAYS retest and confirm results with repeat PCR but retesting should not delay ART initiation.

Babies who test negative at birth (birth PCR) or were not tested MUST be tested at 6 weeks.

InfantsBirth to 6 weeks

PMTCT Infants at high risk of transmission will receive dual ARVs (AZT and NVP) for 12 weeks as prophylaxis if breastfed and for 6 weeks if formula fed.

Infants at low risk of transmission (either breastfed or formula fed) will receive daily NVP for 6 weeks.

A high risk infant is defined as follows:1. High maternal viral load >1000 copies/mlduring the last 4 weeks before delivery2. An infant born to HIV infected woman whohas received less than 4 weeks of ART at the time of delivery3. An infant born to a newly diagnosed HIVinfected woman during labor, delivery andpostpartum (Incident HIV infection)

Cotrimoxazole must be started from 6 weeks of age even in babies on longer CD4>200 copies/ml and be at least 6 months on ART.

For infants weighing <2000 g and older than 35 weeks of gestational age, the suggested doses are: NVP 2 mg/kg per dose once daily and AZT 4 mg/kg per dose twice daily. Premature infants younger than 35 weeks of gestational age should be dosed using expert guidance.
