Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | CLINICAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES, 54 (Supplement 4), p. S290-S293 | Abstract: | A key component of the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Global HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) prevention and assessment strategy is to monitor HIVDR early-warning indicators (EWIs), which provide strategic information for HIVDR containment. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/WHO supported implementation of HIVDR EWI monitoring in 16 Caribbean countries. Results from 15 countries were analyzed by year of patient initiation of antiretroviral therapy for the period 2005-2009. This report demonstrates the need for capacity-building to standardize prescribing practices and to strengthen adherence strategies and antiretroviral drug procurement management systems. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13651 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22544189 | DOI: | 10.1093/cid/cir1044 | ISI #: | 000303341300008 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2013 |
