Abstract

Antiretroviral therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an additional monitoring tool to assist in the management of HIV-infected patients. Antiretroviral TDM is frequently undertaken in Europe, but less often in the USA. This overview will assess the principles, current evidence for, and limitations of TDM. Lastly, the potential role of TDM in southern Africa will be discussed.
