[Accessed 13 April 2015]. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America updated the guidelines on prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected adults and adolescents in 2013 and was made available to the public in early 2014. The guidelines are based on case series, prospective cohorts, randomized controlled trials, and recommendations are rated based on the strength of the evidence.
