Recommended standards for NHS HIV services

The new recommended standards for NHS HIV services have been developed with the aim of enabling people with HIV in England to access the same quality of care wherever they live. The care pathway for people with HIV provides a framework for the standards, and the focus is on patient-centred care.

The empowerment of people with HIV to manage their own health is an underlying principle. The views and experience of people with HIV, and the knowledge and expertise of professionals, have informed the development of these standards. Supporting evidence is identified in a list of relevant further reading.
