Public Health Approach for Scaling Up Antiretroviral Treatment (Toolkit)

This online resource presents a public health approach to "scaling up access to antiretroviral  (ARV) treatment in resource-limited settings." The publishers believe that even in areas with poor resources, successful programmes can not only produce good clinical outcomes, but can reduce stigma and discrimination. The aims of this toolkit are stated as:

1. To address issues arising from planning and implementing ARV treatment programmes
   in resource-limited settings; and
2. To provide user-friendly technical guidance on planning and implementing ARV treatment programmes in resource-limited settings.

The Toolkit contains links to HIV/AIDS treatment resources and Integrated Modelling Approach (IMAI) information and courses.

The Toolkit is divided into 5 sections:

• IMAI Strategy 
• Patient Self Management and Community Support 
• Simplified Guidelines and Training Materials for Primary Care Facilities
• Referral Care and Clinical Mentoring 
• District Management & Supervision
