A US study is the largest to look at youth living with HIV transitioning from paediatric to adult care.

A US analysis found that the demographic characteristics of patients who failed to initiate anti-retroviral therapy (ART) within two years of entering care were not as important as clinical factors.

New recommendations on antiretroviral drugs for pregnant women living with HIV can help women make more informed choices about benefits and harms, says a panel of international experts.

Severe depression may be a side-effect of treatment with the anti-HIV drug dolutegravir, according to clinicians from The Netherlands, who report two cases of rapid onset of serious depression after initiation of therapy with the drug.

Patients receiving care for HIV who were scheduled for clinic visits every six months were less likely to show up late, miss visits, have gaps in treatment, and drop off treatment rolls than patients scheduled every three months.
