This session offers WHO an opportunity to introduce the 3rd edition of the consolidated HIV guidelines, which brings together testing, prevention, treatment, service delivery and comorbidities. Since its release in 2016, WHO has provided updates in several areas of this guideline - Antiretroviral options for first- and second-line treatment, infant diagnosis, post-exposure prophylaxis, advanced HIV disease and management of cryptococcal infections and delivering HIV services. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges for the continuity of HIV care, and it is critical to ensure that the progress of the past decade is not undone. Key topics include: additional options for HIV prevention, optimization and timing of treatment of adults, adolescents and children; treatment monitoring and infant diagnosis; updated considerations for people living with HIV and tuberculosis; and service delivery recommendations to help implement WHO guidance, progress, challenges and perspectives.
