Australian Perspectives on Advances in HIV

CCO Infectious Disease Podcast

In this episode, 2 Australian HIV experts share their thoughts on some of the most important HIV insights gained during the past year in the context of HIV care in Australia.

Specifically, the faculty discuss the continued dominance of second-generation INSTI-based regimens as mainstay HIV therapy in Australia, including in both 2-drug and 3-drug oral regimens; the emergence of 2-drug long-acting injectable therapy as a switch strategy; key aspects of successfully expanded oral PrEP programs in the region; the potential role of long-acting injectable PrEP; and key new advances in HIV cure research.
