Accessing HIV services in Botswana: perspectives of men who have sex with men and other stakeholders
CONCLUSION: Discrimination against MSM undermines the ability of HIV interventions to address MSM sexual health needs.

Effect of dolutegravir on folate, vitamin B12 and mean corpuscular volume levels among children and adolescents with HIV: a sub-study of the ODYSSEY randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Plasma and RBC folate levels were higher in children and adolescents receiving dolutegravir-based ART than on other ART regimens. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms of these interactions and the clinical implications of increased blood folate levels.PMID:37766505 | PMC:PMC10534059 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26174 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
