World AIDS Day 2023: New and Promising Treatments for HIV/AIDS

XTalks

The safety and efficacy of Cabenuva were established through two randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trials involving 1,182 HIV-infected adults who were virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL) before initiating Cabenuva treatment. Additionally, Gag-specific CD8+ T cells demonstrated an increase of 1.7
