Advances in treatment have helped ensure that people living with HIV can have long and healthy lives. However, treatment can have many side effects and people living with HIV can face multiple barriers to accessing treatment and care. Of the nearly 37 million people living with HIV, only 17 million are receiving treatment. Research is still needed to improve the effectiveness of drugs and improve access to and quality of health care for people living with HIV.
CANFAR has funded over $7 million in research related to HIV treatment and care, contributing to breakthroughs that include the development of modern and life-saving HIV treatment.
