The “2023 ART Clinical guidelines for the management of HIV in Adults, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding, Adolescents, Children, Infants, and Neonates” from the Republic of South Africa National Department of Health serves as a comprehensive and user-friendly reference for healthcare workers and partners involved in antiretroviral treatment (ART). The guidelines cover diverse populations, including adults, pregnant and breastfeeding women, adolescents, and paediatric clients, aligning with Differentiated Models of Care (DMOC) Standard Operating Procedures. Notably, the document focuses on the initiation and switching of ART in the era of dolutegravir, routine management for viral suppression, and the integration of ART, TB, and family planning services. For further details, the guidelines refer to the Consolidated HIV Guidelines document and the Guideline for Family-Centred Transmission Prevention of Communicable Infections (HIV, Hepatitis, Listeriosis, Malaria, Syphilis, and TB) 2023, making it an essential resource for effective and up-to-date HIV care.
