Guidelines for diagnosing, preventing and managing cryptococcal disease among adults, adolescents and children living with HIV
recommended

World Health Organization (WHO) (2022) C_WHO

Cryptococcal disease is one of the most common opportunistic infections among people living with advanced HIV disease and is a major contributor to severe illness, morbidity, and mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. These guidelines update the recommendations that were first released i ... n 2018 on diagnosing, preventing, and managing cryptococcal disease. In response to important new evidence that became available in 2021, these new guidelines strongly recommend a single high dose of liposomal amphotericin B as part of the preferred induction regimen for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis in people living with HIV. This simplified regimen - a single high dose of liposomal amphotericin B paired with other standard medicines (flucytosine and fluconazole) - is as effective as the previous WHO standard of care, with the benefits of lower toxicity and fewer monitoring demands. The objective of these guidelines is to provide updated, evidence-informed recommendations for treating adults, adolescents and children living with HIV who have cryptococcal disease. These guidelines are aimed at HIV programme managers, policymakers, national treatment advisory boards, implementing partners and health-care professionals providing care for people living with HIV in resource-limited settings with a high burden of cryptococcal disease. more

National Comprehensive Guidelines on HIV Testing Services

Kenya MInistry of Health, Community Development, Elderly and Children (2019) C1

These guidelines provide a framework for effective action to facilitate access to safe and ethical testing services for different population groups. The implementation of the a comprehensive approach, known as HIV Testing Services (HTS) is cardinal as an effective package of services that diminis ... hes the impact of the HIV epidemic in our country. All forms of HTS adhere to the 5Cs: Confidentiality, Counselling, Consent, Correct results and Connection, or linkage to care, with all based within a human right context. In addition to the 5Cs, however, the MOHCDGEC emphasizes the use of a variety of approaches to HTS that will reduce the number of missed opportunities. These include Provider-Initiated Testing and Counselling testing, Couple counselling and testing, Index testing, and infant and children counselling and testing in alignment to the revised WHO guidelines. Furthermore, these guidelines accentuate on the continual provision of integrated HTS service at all levels of the public and private health service delivery system.
