Congratulations to A/Prof Edwina Wright, Department of Infectious Diseases who successfully chaired a submission to Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) by ASHM, NAPWA and AFAO, following which, the PBAC lifted CD4+ cell
restrictions on prescribing antiretroviral therapy for HIV+ people. This means
that all HIV+ people irrespective of how high their CD4+ cells are, or whether
or not they have symptoms, can access antiretroviral therapy. http://ow.ly/t5TNw
