HIV Viral Load Toolkit: An implementer's guide to introducing HIV viral load monitoring

MSF's Southern Africa Medical Unit has produced the HIV Viral Load Toolkit, designed to provide implementers with a set of tools to aid in implementation of VL monitoring including aspects related to sample preparation, activities for clinical and counselling staff, and education and empowerment of the patients themselves. The tools and algorithms form a basis for implementation, but will need to be adapted to the local context.

Supplementary Material for Product Guide Supplementary material includes national recommendations on infant diagnosis, testing of pregnant and breast-feeding women, CD4, and viral load testing, across 55 low- and middle-income countries, sourced from the IAPAC database.
