The development of a liquid suspension form of delavirdine (Rescriptor) had disappointing results in one study. Most children rejected the liquid due to its bad taste and were switched to crushed or dissolved tablets, with anti-HIV properties similar to those seen in adult trials.1

Community Consensus Statement on Access to HIV Treatment and its Use for Prevention

Together, we can make it happen

We can end HIV soon if people have equal access to HIV drugs as treatment and as PrEP, and have free choice over whether to take them.

Launched today, the Community Consensus Statement is a basic set of principles aimed at making sure that happens.

The Community Consensus Statement is a joint initiative of AVAC, EATG, MSMGF, GNP+, HIV i-Base, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, ITPC and NAM/aidsmap
