The website was formally launched in 1999 when the expanding complexity of many early HIV combinations included a bewildering range of potential drug interactions with only a limited number of formal interaction studies.
Professor David Back worked with Professor Saye Khoo and a close group of key colleagues and staff to create early drug interaction resources based on a traffic light code, to guide HIV doctors and pharmacists on potential cautions. The international importance of their early guidelines quickly developed into an open access website, which was quickly recognised as a world class resource – something that has continued to be true for the last 25 years.
