dc.description.abstract | Increased access to antiretroviral therapy has proven to decrease HIV-related deaths and
increase life expectancy. Pharmacists have been identified as one of the fundamental healthcare
professionals that need to be mobilised and involved in HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. The
pharmacist role is still mainly embedded in dispensing of antiretroviral therapy, meaning that pharmacists
are not sufficiently involved in managing HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The scope of practice of a pharmacist
in South Africa to allow pharmacist initiated therapy (PIMART), was published in August 2021. | en_US |
