Excerpt
This report is the report from the WHO/UNAIDS International Consensus Meeting on Technical and Operational Recommendations for Emergency Scaling-up of Antiretroviral Therapy in Resource-Limited Settings in Lusaka, Zambia between November 18 and 21, 2003. The Meeting brought together more than 100 experts, including people living with HIV/AIDS, treatment advocates, representatives of United Nations agencies, researchers, government officials, policy-makers, donors and nongovernmental organizations involved in HIV/AIDS treatment, care and support. The purpose of the Meeting and the preparatory work by five working groups in September and October 2003 was to develop emergency technical and operational recommendations to guide the scaling up of antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV/AIDS in resource-limited settings. The recommendations contained in this report will be used in developing a technical and operational manual for scaling up antiretroviral therapy to be published by WHO and UNAIDS in early 2004.
