While a variety of clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS are used extensively around the world, theimplementation of such guidelines is not assured in Korea due to constraints with respect to the diagnostic tests and antiretroviraldrugs currently available in the country. Consequently, the Committee for Clinical Guidelines for the Diagnosis andTreatment of HIV/AIDS of the Korean Society for AIDS was founded in 2010, and the first edition of the Korean guidelines waspublished a year later. However, due to the rapid discovery of new data in the field of HIV and the evolution of the clinical environmentin Korea in the last few years, it has become necessary to revise the first set of guidelines. This guideline aims to providecomprehensive information regarding the diagnosis and management of HIV/AIDS in Korea. The recommendations containimportant information for physicians working with HIV/AIDS in the clinical field. A brief summary of the revised guidelines andkey changes to the original version of the guidelines are summarized below.
