PACKAGING THAT'S MADE FOR LIVING
People Living with HIV (PLHIV) experiencing HIV-related stigma were 32% less likely to adhere to ART vs. those not reporting stigma (n=3984).†[1,2] Discreet packaging aims to reduce attention to the person’s medication, and together with indicators for the days of the week, could help PLHIV keep their medication on track.
†Association identified in a meta-analysis conducted in 3984 PLHIV from a total of 7 studies controlled for potential confounders.

Discreet
It’s small – a smaller surface than a credit card, meaning it can easily fit into your patient’s pocket, so your patients can easily carry it with them wherever they go.
Convenient
With a perforated line, the pack can be torn to make it even smaller, adding more convenience for those weekends away.
