DOSE REDUCTION OF ANTIRETROVIRALS COULD INCREASE THEIR USE WORLDWIDE.
Antiretroviral dose reduction is a feasible approach to cost reduction and therefore wider access to HIV treatment. It would also reduce adverse events, improving tolerability and favouring adherence. We advocate for large, well-controlled non-inferiority trials the results of which could lead to a large scale reduction in antiretroviral doses.

WORKPLACE DRUG TESTING IN THE ITALIAN PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS
Many studies show that the positivity rate to the drug testing administered to Italians professional drivers stood globally at levels below 2%, with cannabis and cocaine as the main substances identified. It is possible that this rate, much lower than expected (4%-10%), may be due to the application of an improperly designed law.
