Accelerating access and scale-up of optimized antiretroviral therapy in low-income and middle-income countries: results of a coordinated end-to-end approach.

The global HIV community invested in multiple, high-profile partnerships and shepherded unprecedented political support to expedite the transition to dolutegravir (DTG)-based regimens. The goal? To accelerate access to simpler, safer, more robust, and more affordable HIV treatment by harnessing the collective power of scientists, regulators, drug companies, donors, implementers, advocates, and people with HIV (PWH). The inspiration? End-to-end approaches to introducing new products that mitigate risk and encourage early planning and resource allocation for all aspects of product introduction and preparation for scale-up.
