Introduction

The advanced clinical care (ACC) highlights the HIV epidemic in South Africa and the complications of advanced HIV disease and the changing profile of people with advanced disease. This ACC programme targets most areas in HIV care to reduce mortality, morbidity and improve virologic suppression. This course targets the high level of complexity in patients with advanced HIV and inadequate clinical skills to meet the patient’s needs.
