World Health Organisation Supports Policy To Give People With HIV Antiretroviral Drugs Immediately

19:40

The World Health Organisation, WHO, supports a new policy that removes limits on offering anyone with HIV Antiretroviral drugs as soon as possible after diagnosis.

With this new policy, UNAIDS said these changes could help avert 21 Million AIDS-related deaths and 28 Million new infections by 2030.

However, reports from BBC indicate that the challenge globally will be making sure everyone has access to them and the funds are in place to pay for such a huge extension in treatment. 

Antiretroviral therapy is not a cure but can control the virus so that patients can live a longer, healthier life and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others by preventing the HIV from multiplying.
