Innovation & Obstacles...

 

Sometimes new things aren't the only matters of importance for HIV research & treatment.  The new things & new info are exciting & even inspiring.   However, a lot of what goes on is innovation & all too often the development of obstacles.

For a long time ART (antiretroviral therapy) was the main source of HIV management.   Now you may start seeing LA-ART or just LART.  That refers to long acting ART.   Is it brand new?  No, but the development is important.

For some time, 2 of the biggest obstacles in fighting HIV have been ignorance & funding.  Those 2 remain with places like Tennessee taking their ignorance to outright hatred & aggression.  Their decision to refuse federal HIV monies will only harm people.  

Sometimes the new things aren't what need discussing.  Often it's the old, new takes on the existing or even the ramping up of matters.   New things don't come often, but the old lingers for a long time.
