Main Article Content
Abstract
Currently, The Human Immunodeficiency Virus remains one of the main threats facing modern medicine (Swinkels et al., 2024). Despite the many years of work carried out to slow down the spread of the HIV pandemic, profound gaps in coverage of prevention strategies are noted, especially after recent significant reduction in funding (UNAIDS, 2025).
