HIV Treatments: science and expert opinion
• Untreated HIV infection may have detrimental effects at all stages of infection. Later treatment may not repair damage associated with viral replication and immune activation during early stages of infection.
• Earlier treatment may prevent the damage associated with HIV replication during early stages of infection.
• Earlier treatment may reduce risk cardiovascular disease, cancers, osteopenia/osteoporosis and neurologic complications.
• Prevention benefits of HIV treatments (HPTN 052/Test & Treat)

ARV Treatment Guidelines
•March 2012 Update to US DHHS Guidelines (followed in Australia):
• ART is recommended for all HIV-infected individuals. The strength of this recommendation varies on the basis of pre-treatment CD4 cell count:o CD4 count <350 cells/mm3 (AI)o CD4 count 350 to 500 cells/mm3 (AII)o CD4 count >500 cells/mm3 (BIII)

But outdated beliefs
• Indications that knowledge among some PLHIV about treatment advances is not consistently reviewed or renewed
• Past negative experiences in terms of pill burden, side effects and toxicities influencing attitudes and beliefs
• S100 prescribers play a very important role in guiding decisions about initiating treatment
• Optimal health outcomes for PLHIV will be supported by addressing psychosocial and structural barriers

Psychological barriers
“Commencing was terrifying. I was scared and the night before I started I was a mess. Initial physical reaction was minimal so that was a relief. Changing meds is also a scary thought which I am trying to avoid” (ARCSHS Tracking Changes, 2011)
“I had thought it would be difficult for me to commence meds since this would be an acknowledgment of the progression of my HIV. However since starting my meds I have found that a lot of small irritating conditions have cleared up and my overall health is significantly improved. I'm just grateful every day that the meds exist!” (ARCSHS Tracking Changes, 2011)

Psychological barriers
“The barrier to commence my HIV treatment was the hardest thing to work through personally. It took my doctor three years to convince me it was the right thing to do. In hindsight having now been on meds for over a year and my health at its best I wish I could have known and started them earlier. It’s important for others facing this hurdle to speak with people that have faced this....with positive outcomes.” (ARCSHS Tracking Changes, 2011)
