Vigilance in Tackling Drug Resistance in the Global Battle Against HIV

Getting people on treatment is not only important in allowing HIV-positive people to live full lives, but also because “treatment as prevention” is a key pillar in the global fight against the disease.

Journal of the International AIDS Society - "The global HIV response has been remarkably successful. More than 19 million persons living with HIV (PLHIV) have accessed life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and the annual number of HIV-related deaths and new HIV infections have both plummeted.
