FDA Approves First Long-Acting HIV Drug Combo - VOA

Dr. Steven Deeks is an HIV specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. He told The Associated Press that the new treatment can make patients’ lives better because it is only needed once a month. “People don’t want those daily reminders that they’re HIV infected,” Deeks said."
