Europe’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion for Triumeq PD, the first dispersible single tablet regimen with dolutegravir, for children living with HIV.

For this to be a viable HIV reduction strategy, scale-up demand creation should be coordinated between all partners, the study authors said, and should be fast enough to build momentum and yield the expected results.

Joseph Eron, MD, Daniel R. Kuritzkes, MD, and Monica Gandhi, MD, MPH, discuss the likelihood of other combination regimens for the treatment of multidrug-resistant HIV, including monoclonal antibodies.

The study showed, however, that physicians can help solve the problem if they are willing to answer patient’s questions about the therapy’s efficacy and safety.

With major updates in HIV, C difficile, hepatitis, yeast infections, and skin and soft tissue infections, this week's Infectious Disease Update has something for everyone.

A germline-targeting HIV vaccine candidate elicited broadly neutralizing antibodies in 97% of recipients.

Concerns of injectable HIV PrEP safety and efficacy demonstrate a need for health care providers to share reliable information with at-risk populations.

Although HIV PrEP uptake is gradually increasing, usage remains low among key at-risk populations.

Joseph Eron, MD and Daniel R. Kuritzkes, MD, discuss how to define “heavily treatment-experienced” and also discuss the prevalence of various types of drug resistance.

The study authors called eliminating barriers to HIV care and treatment a national priority.

How do we increase HIV PrEP uptake? “I think the biggest takeaway here is that people need options,” said Travis Sanchez, DVM, MPH.

Pregnant people taking dolutegravir were more likely to achieve HIV viral suppression and less likely to have a preterm birth than participants using other forms of ART.

With the population of adults with HIV growing older, incorporating age-based screenings, comprehensive assessments, and morbidity management into routine HIV care is essential in improving health outcomes and quality of life.

A late-breaking IDWeek 2022 study found high seroprotection was achieved among people living with HIV after receiving 3 doses of a hepatitis B vaccine.

A retrospective study of a Colombian cohort examined the causes of antiretroviral switch in people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as the time to ART switch.
