Stigma, scale-up, and treatment governance (pdf 198kb)

This paper from the POLICY Project examines the problems and opportunities associated with the current expansion of access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) for people living with HIV.

The paper outlines a treatment governance approach to the development of ART services and draws on research from Vietnam to illustrate the importance of encouraging the participation of those living with HIV in the development of treatment policies.

Treatment governance stresses the importance of monitoring and managing the impact of ART. This means strengthening comprehensive treatment monitoring, encouraging multi-sectoral collaboration and using an interdisciplinary approach to the management of treatment services.
