Achieving and maintaining Viral Supression is always vital. But particularly important to boost resilience to novel #COVID19 at this time. Tendai Program will continue to work toward this goal
Replying to @TENDAI_program
@TENDAI_program we are researching whether improving #mentalhealth can improve physical health and #viralload for people living with #HIV - this could help boost resilience to #COVID2019 complications in #African settings bit.ly/2JdShLM @ConsortiumAMARI @KingsIoPPN
