  • A concerning resurgence of HIV incidence among homosexual men is observed, even in industrialized nations.

Framework:

  • An effective HIV vaccine remains unavailable.
  • Current antiretroviral therapies, while advancing, do not lead to HIV eradication.

Implementation:

  • Optimal timing for initiating antiretroviral therapy and the consequences of treatment interruption are still under investigation.
