ICAP clinical manuals outline a step-by-step approach to the care of HIV-infected adults and children in resource-limited settings, emphasizing multidisciplinary, family-focused care.

The Columbia Clinical Manual contains 24 chapters organized into seven sections: family care coordination; adherence assessment and support; psychosocial assessment and support; nutritional assessment and support; clinical care of adults; clinical care of infants and children; and care of the caregiver. Chapters on the care of infants and children with HIV/AIDS have also been collected into the ICAP Pediatric Clinical Manual. All are updated and expanded periodically.
