00:01Dr. Piccolo, how is the approach to HIV prevention changing, if it is changing, and how are innovative tools
00:08and personalized responses can help reach more people to address risk?
00:13First of all, preventing HIV is a necessity today. There are still a huge number of diagnoses, we are talking about approximately 2,500 diagnoses in
00:23Italy in 2024 alone, of which 60% diagnosed in the late stage.
00:29Today, HIV treatment is the first form of prevention because it prevents transmission and therefore contagion of
00:38other subjects.
00:39However, treatment alone is not enough. There are now forms of prevention, and others are being added.
00:47very innovative and which complete the range of available options.
00:55Certainly the challenge today is to think of a precision prevention that is built around the needs of
01:03people, to the needs of the community.
01:06To keep in mind people who may not have easy access to the options available today or who do not
01:16respond to the options available today.
01:20So how is HIV prevention changing today? Definitely with an integrated approach.
01:27And I add that innovation today has reached HIV prevention.
01:33However, it is very important to ensure that innovation also reaches people and the community.
01:43And this is achieved through the collaboration of all stakeholders in the healthcare system.
01:49Therefore the scientific community, the third sector, institutions and companies.
