It's been more than a year since the bible of U.S. HIV treatment has been updated, but the wait is finally over -- and there are some huge changes. The biggest one: IV meds are now recommended for anyone with a CD4 count below 350. (Until now, treatment had been recommended only when a person's CD4 count dropped below 200.) A similar change was made to European HIV treatment guidelines in October. The newly revised U.S. guidelines also recommend HIV drug resistance testing for everyone who's been diagnosed with HIV, even if they're not even considering treatment yet.
