9. HIV and drug resistance course (2023)
Section 9 of the treatment manual is a community introduction to HIV and drug resistance.
It is more technical than the other sections, but it is still written for people who don’t have a medical or scientific background.
It is about how life grows and evolves and what can happen when ART interacts with HIV.
Each module should take 30–60 minutes.
