Gaps in care of up to 9 months for patients with HIV do not worsen viral loads, a study involving more than 6000 HIV-infected individuals has found.

Phase 3 randomised trials for drug approval in high-income countries do not provide sufficient evidence to support the widespread use of new antiretrovirals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the majority of people with HIV live.

ARV stock-outs kill more Ugandans

“Of recent, HIV drug stock-out is adding a lot of misery to us as service providers in the ART clinics because we get very few drugs from National Medical Stores (NMS) which is not enough for our patients.
