Now that the majority of PLHIV on treatment are virally supressed with the safest and most tolerable arts ever,*[1][2] where do the new possibilities in HIV lie?
We must look beyond efficacy and tolerability to ensure that everyone living with HIV can look forward to:
Enhanced satisfaction with the treatments they will take for the rest of their lives[3][4]
Having autonomy to choose how they live with HIV[5]
Changing the way they and others perceive them as PLHIV[6]
Just as switching treatment due to physical adverse events can improve a patient’s physical health and QoL,[7] interventions that address a patient’s mental, emotional and social needs are also essential to save lives and improve clinical outcomes[8][9]
What if we could take treatment satisfaction to a whole new level?
What if we could give PLHIV more autonomy to choose?
What if we could help PLHIV redefine themselves?
