Guidelines use research evidence, the consensus of experts in the field, and practice-based evidence (that is evidence from knowledge and practical experience) to support the decision making of frontline service providers. Guidelines are issued by a variety of sources including governments and expert groups at the local, national and international levels. This article highlights HIV-related guidelines developed in Canada. While some of the guidelines are relevant across the country, others may have been developed for a particular context but may still contain information that may be of use to people in other regions.
