Antiretroviral therapy for Ukrainians

In order that people living with HIV who have been forced to leave Ukraine as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation can access antiretroviral therapy (ART) and other medical care, the Euroguidelines in Central and Eastern Europe (ECEE) Group has launched the ART Initiative for Ukrainians Abroad in coordination with the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the L.V. Gromashevsky Institute of Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine (IEIH).

An up-to-date list of countries and clinics where ART can be found at: https://www.eceenetwork.com/patients.

The ECEE Group advises that it is desirable, but not required, for people living with HIV to have information about their HIV treatment history. If such information is not available, the clinics of the ECEE Group network will, with the consent of the person seeking treatment, contact the Central Clinical Hospital and IEIH.
