One of the new sections in the updated EACS guidelines includes a new section on sleeps disorders.
The clinical impact of poor sleep has led to a new recommendation to ask a simple question: ‘How is your sleep?’
This recognises that people living with HIV commonly have sleep problems which can independently have poor clinical outcomes, irrespective of whether or not HIV has a causative role.
This first question should be asked when starting or changing ART and additionally every two years as part of routine management.
