In collaboration with the Strong, HIV positive, Empowered Women (SHE) programme, an industry-funded initiative aimed at improving the quality of life of HIV-positive women, Antiviral Therapy has taken the excellent step to dedicate a Supplement Issue addressing the needs and challenges related to the care of women living in Europe.
