#IAS2025: Reduced #ARVs dosing could be a crisis response to #HIV meds stock-outs. French #guidelines already include this option for some adults. But the African BREATHER Plus study reported that daily dosing was significantly better in adolescents: i-base.info/htb/51845

Over 30 #HIV orgs sign statement declaring unconditional support for #trans and #nonbinary communities: i-base.info/htb/51403 “You are needed. You are valued. You are always welcome in our services.” Your org can sign too. #TransRights #TransHealth #GUM #EHRC #SupremeCourt
