Abstract:
The decision to initiate antiretroviral therapy is one of the most critical junctures in the course of management of patients with HIV-1 infection, and the considerations involved regarding when to start treatment and with what to start must be individualized for each patient. Determining when to start includes considerations not only of disease stage but also of psychosocial issues, such as the patient's ability and willingness to begin treatment. Once the decision is made to start therapy, a regimen and treatment strategy that have the best chance to achieve maximal and durable suppression of viral replication for the particular patient must be chosen.
