All of that’s been known for several years. But services to meet their needs still fall short, say people with HIV and the groups that support them, and simply quantifying their mental and physical health problems has been a challenge.

However, it must clear what are known as phase III clinical trials before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will even consider reclassifying it.
