• Resumen

  • A two-year trial in 286 people with HIV found that 94% of those who had injections of long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) every eight weeks had the virus under control--defined as having less than 50 copies of the virus per milliliter of blood. A monthly form of the injection was effective in 87% of those who had it, while standard ART pills worked for 84% of those who took them.
