- In 2020, Zimbabwe implemented the WHO's recommendation to use raltegravir granules for treating HIV in newborns, prompting a study on the acceptability among caregivers and healthcare workers.
- Interviews with 15 caregivers and 12 healthcare workers revealed that caregivers noted improvements in their babies' health and some preferred to continue RAL beyond the recommended 28 days.
- Healthcare workers identified challenges in caregiver understanding of dosing and administration, highlighting the need for better training and clearer instructions to ensure proper RAL usage.
