Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs During Pregnancy and Interventions to Reduce Perinatal HIV Transmission in the United States

This guideline offers updated, evidence-based recommendations—from preconception through postpartum—on universal prenatal HIV testing, preferred antiretroviral regimens (e.g., bictegravir/TAF/FTC), maternal viral monitoring, obstetric management, and neonatal prophylaxis to further reduce perinatal HIV transmission toward elimination goals (defined as <1% transmission rate and <1 infection per 100,000 live births).

Alternative Funding Programs Issue Brief (AFPs). AIDS Drug Assistance Program Benefits Management.

This information sheet offers an in-depth analysis of current AFP models—including funding mechanisms, stakeholder roles, and implementation strategies—to support sustainability of HIV-related services beyond traditional grant funding. It outlines key considerations and best practices to help health departments and community partners explore and launch innovative financing options for long-term epidemic response planning.

GLP-1s and HIV: What You Need to Know Before Starting

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide, are increasingly used for weight management and show promise for people living with HIV (PLWH). While these medications are generally safe, PLWH may face additional considerations when using them due to how GLP-1s function and interact with antiretroviral therapy (ART). GLP-1s slow gastric emptying and suppress appetite, which may affect ART absorption; gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea or vomiting may also interfere with consistent ART dosing.

Sexually Transmitted Infections Costs Saved User Guide
