The conference saw the launch of three sets of very useful summary guidelines, produced by the European AIDS Clinical Society.

These excellent guidelines use comprehensive summary tables for clinical management and treatment, metabolic complications and hepatitis coinfection.

comment

Many of the recommendations in these summary tables are more appropriate than the recently published 2007 WHO European guidelines. It would be useful if EACS doctors were also involved into the WHO guidelines, for consistency and a better standard of clinical care.
