New Treatments Pipeline

posted: 10/09/2010

If you want to know about all the future treatments, tests, and prevention for HIV, hepatitis, and TB, the Treatment Action Group (TAG) have produced a new guide. It deals with

• future HIV antiretroviral treatments
• future ways of diagnosing HIV
• future HIV antiretroviral treatments for babies, children and young people
• future immune-based therapies and preventive technologies - like vaccines and pre-exposure prophylaxis (which means treatment to prevent HIV infection)
• future hepatitis B treatments
• future hepatitis C treatments
• future diagnosis, treatments and vaccines for tuberculosis (TB)

It's not an easy booklet to read, but there are 150 pages of information about new HIV treatments in the development 'pipeline.' That is a lot of new developments that should continue to steadily improve the quality and length of life people with HIV can expect.
