New Lancet Issue Focuses on HIV Ahead of AIDS 2012 Conference

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

June 29, 2012

This week's issue of the Lancet "has an HIV theme ahead of the International AIDS Society meeting in Washington, D.C., ... on July 22-27," a Lancet editorial states, noting, "The issue of antiretrovirals for prevention, specifically pre-exposure prophylaxis, is presently under intense debate." According to the editorial, "Two articles present further efforts to make treatment better and improve patients' adherence," and "[a] third article shows the benefits of antiretrovirals when given to either mothers or infants to prevent HIV transmission via breastfeeding" (6/29).
