Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2019 Nov;144:101-109.  doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2019.09.011. Epub 2019 Sep 13. PMID: 31525446; PMCID: PMC6917207.

Existing HIV therapy using oral antiretrovirals (ARVs) can result in pill fatigue and sub-optimal adherence. Microneedle array patches (MAPs) offer non-invasive, blood-free and painless drug delivery, and may improve patient adherence.
