Medical professionals from the Modena HIV Metabolic Clinic have praised a new HIV treatment which is administered via injections.
The European Union announced on Monday December 21 it has approved the first injectable, bi-monthly treatment for HIV, meaning people living with the condition would no longer have to take daily medication.
According to PharmiWeb, the long-acting injectable regimen was preferred by the majority of clinical trial patients who tried the treatment over their previous daily oral therapy.
Trials were initially due to be conducted until 2022 but ceased this year as the treatment proved so successful.Now it has been authorised by the EU, all 27 member states will now be able to access the regimen.
