          Abstract

          El siguiente documento recolecta información actualizada para el abordaje de la persona con infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humano, adaptado a la realidad nacional. Se considera que la terapia antirretroviral debe iniciarse lo antes posible en personas con conteo linfocitario menor de 350 linfocitos T CD4+/mm³, previa valoración clínica y asegurando seguimiento estricto por parte de un equipo interdisciplinario. La carga viral será el parámetro que se utilizará para el seguimiento y, como meta, se proyecta alcanzar indetectabilidad a los 6 meses de tratamiento.

          Abstract: The following document is a guideline adapted to the national reality for the management of people living with HIV. Once a clinical assessment has been made, the antiretroviral therapy must be initiated as soon as possible in all the patients with a CD4+ count less than 350 cels/mm³. A strict follow-up by an interdisciplinary team must be guaranteed. The viral load will be the follow-up parameter. The aim is that it will be undetectable after 6 months of treatment.
