Subject: Webinar: Civil Society Speaks: Fighting for Universal Access To
Dolutegravir (DTG)!
To: "margaritesanchez at gmail.com" <margaritesanchez at gmail.com>


What do people living with HIV need to know about Dolutegravir? What do our
communities need to know about viral resistance to first line ARVs?

GNP+ invites you to an important treatment access discussion on
accelerating the roll out of Dolutegravir, a groundbreaking alternative for
first-line HIV regimens. Research has shown that the use of Dolutegravir as
part of combination therapy results in fewer side effects and more
effective suppression of viral load than any integrase inhibitors on the
market.

Speakers will discuss the economic and programmatic implications of DTG
rollout in low and middle income countries and will highlight key community
strategies, arguments and deliberations impacting the transition and scale
up of DTG for people living with HIV. Speakers will also discuss the latest
WHO treatment guidelines on DTG, the ongoing clinical research questions
regarding DTG use in children, pregnant women and people coinfected with TB
and HIV as well as ongoing community concerns over the growing viral
resistance to ARVs.
