title: CDC issues guidelines on treating OIs among adults. ART is cornerstone of treatment plan.
abstract: The CDC has confirmed that in the age of antiretroviral therapy clinicians may choose to treat some opportunistic infections (OIs) less aggressively. The CDC's recent guidelines emphasize the importance of antiretroviral therapy in reducing the incidence of OIs, particularly in individuals who have a CD4 t-cell count of less than 200 cells. But they also confirm that some OI treatment might pose more risks than benefits.
