From 1 September 2026, the prescriber accreditation requirement for hepatitis B medicines under the PBS Section 100 (s100) Highly Specialised Drugs Program will be removed. As a result, all medical and authorised nurse practitioners will be able to prescribe hepatitis B antiviral treatment without additional specialist accreditation. ASHM is currently updating its website, education and resources to reflect this change.

Overview

The HIV Monitoring Tool is a 2-page resource designed to provide HIV s100 prescribers a structured framework for conducting thorough patient reviews following an HIV diagnosis.

The resource covers various critical aspects including medical history, co-morbidities, lifestyle factors, and HIV-specific investigations. By systematically assessing these factors, healthcare professionals can gain a holistic understanding of the patient’s health status and make informed decisions regarding their HIV management and treatment.
