Treatment failure is still a problem for many individuals with HIV. In Europe alone, over 10,000 individuals with HIV are classed as "heavily treatment experienced"1 – but what does this really mean?

Professor Chloe Orkin and her colleagues Pedro Cahn, Antonella Castagna, Brinda Emu, Richard Harrigan, Dan Kuritzkes, Mark Nelson and Jonathan Schapiro met in December 2020 and again in 2021. Their discussions have been published in HIV Medicine (access the article below) and identify the unmet needs of individuals with HIV who are in need of further treatment options, broaden the definition of heavily treatment experienced people, and clarify the use of newer agents, with an emphasis on the utilization of entry inhibitors in this population.
