MSF again paves the way with ART

Abstract
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has once again paved the way in local HIV/AIDS treatment, this time piloting ART adherence clubs in Khayelitsha outside Cape Town, improving adherence (and thus sustained virological suppression and immunological recovery) over mainstream care by a full 12%.
