Ethical issues surrounding the implementation of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa
Our overarching aim is to ensure that the rights of people living with HIV are protected as implementors plan for the rollout of LA-ART with a focus on eastern and southern Africa. The utilization of LA-ART in resource-limited settings poses significant ethical challenges, necessitating careful consideration of autonomy, access and equity, stigma, discrimination, sustainability and treatment adherence.
