The current and future landscape of HIV treatments and vaccines
4
Dr Caroline Forkin from ICON discusses the current status of HIV treatments and potential for researchers to develop a vaccine.
“Globally, great strides have been made in HIV testing and treatment,” states a new whitepaper on the evolution and projected progress of HIV treatments. Including post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), there are a range of antiretroviral therapies available at present to treat HIV. Other recent developments to prevent the spread of HIV include pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which is the pre-emptive use of antiretroviral therapy by individuals substantially at risk of contracting the virus. However, researchers are still seeking to develop improved therapies and vaccines to combat the virus.
