Sarita Shah, MD, MPH, reveals a decline in timely ART initiation from 86.5% in 2019 to 83.9% in 2020, with viral suppression rates dropping from 91.1% to 84.7%, before showing signs of recovery by 2021.

Colleen Kelley, MD, MPH, offers some insights on where we are today with the state of HIV prevention including the expanding PrEP options, why PEP is underutilized, and the challenges behind HIV vaccine development.
