Antiretroviral drugs exhibit poor and variable pharmacokinetics and there is a need for strict adherence to drug-resistance. Recent pre-clinical data for antiretroviral solid drug nanoparticles (SDNs) has shown putative benefits for oral bioavailability. Also, milling to form SDNs has resulted in intramuscular depot formulations with the potential for once monthly (or longer) dosing. This presentation will summarise these recent advances.
