As per the new report by WHO, resistance to the antiretroviral drug dolutegravir (DTG) is increasing among HIV patients.
Since 2018, WHO has recommended dolutegravir as the preferred first- and second-line HIV treatment due to its effectiveness, ease of use and minimal side effects.
In 2022, more than 75% of the 39 million people living with HIV globally were receiving HIV treatment.
1.3 million new HIV infections and 630,000 HIV-related deaths are reported in 2022.
