Recent reductions in the price of HIV/AIDS therapeutics and the increasing availability of generic versions of some drugs have paved the way for expanded access to antiretroviral therapy across Asia and the Pacific region. The experience of many countries has shown, however, that the complexities of AIDS drug regimens and their safe and effective administration require specialized knowledge that is best acquired through education and training. TREAT Asia seeks to increase the availability of high quality HIV/AIDS treatment and care by expanding the pool of physicians and health care professionals who are well qualified in the safe and effective delivery of therapeutics and the management of HIV infection and AIDS; develop and advance a coordinated clinical research agenda that is responsive to the needs of HIV-infected populations in the region; enhance health care infrastructure in preparation for expanded access to antiretroviral therapy and experimental therapeutics; and identify and address the major policy obstacles that hinder the expansion of access to drug treatments for HIV/AIDS across Asia and the Pacific region.
