EACS Guidelines version 13.0

EACS Guidelines version 13.0, October 2025 - European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS)

Welcome to the EACS Guidelines 2025!

These Guidelines were developed by the European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS), a not-for-profit organisation, whose mission is to promote excellence in care, research and education for HIV and related conditions across Europe. We advocate for equitable access to healthcare and aim to improve quality of life for those at risk of or affected by HIV, while shaping public health policies to reduce disease burden. 

The aim of the EACS Guidelines is to provide easily accessible and comprehensive recommendations to clinicians involved in all aspects of care. Unless stated otherwise, they always refer to the specific management of people with HIV. 

The EACS Guidelines were first published in 2005, and are currently available online as a web-based version, and as a free App for iOS and Android devices. 

The Guidelines undergo formal minor revisions annually and major revisions every second year. Interim updates may however also be provided whenever section leads consider it necessary. 

Each respective section of the Guidelines is managed by a panel of experienced HIV experts, with additional experts in other fields included where necessary. All recommendations are evidence-based whenever possible and based on expert opinion in the rare instances where adequate evidence is unavailable. 

The EACS Guidelines cover a relatively large and diverse geographical area, with different national levels of access to care. As a natural consequence, the Guidelines aim to cover a relatively wide range of recommendations, as opposed to the often more uniform national guidelines. Since 2024, EACS Guidelines have been simplified in the organisation, including two parts (Part I for the management and prevention of HIV and related infections and Part II for co-morbidities), each of them subdivided into specific sections. 

The 2025 version of the Guidelines includes updates of all existing sections.
