New European treatment guidelines recommend starting earlier
« on: October 30, 2007, 03:15:46 pm »
So far the European stance to treatment has been relatively conservative: treatment to be initiated at a CD4 count of 200 or below, and 'to be considered' between 200 and 350.

Official European guidelines have been updated and now recommend treatment be initiated at or below 350.

Britain has its own set of HIV treatment guidelines and apparently a new set will be issued soon. It is expected that they will include similar recommendations to the new European guidelines.

No surprise to me, and it's the level I would chose if I was in that situation.

UK guidelnes current recommend startng treatment:

"earlier in the CD4 count range 200–350 cells/mL, and above counts of 350 cells/mL in selected patients, such as older patients, those with higher viral load, and those with other comorbidities such as hepatitis B or C virus infection)."

We's pushing for 350 full stop.
