A medida que el tratamiento antirretrovírico con dolutegravir se extiende a más personas que viven con el VIH en el
mundo, adquiere más importancia estimar la frecuencia con que surge la farmacorresistencia adquirida a este
antirretrovírico en las poblaciones tratadas con esquemas que lo conti...enen. Si bien no se ha detectado resistencia
al dolutegravir en los ensayos clínicos con poblaciones no tratadas antes con antirretrovíricos en las que se ha
detectado una viremia persistente pese al tratamiento, los datos indican que puede surgir en quienes toman esquemas
con dolutegravir. La OMS recomienda a los países que estén ampliando el tratamiento con dolutegravir que acompañen
su despliegue con la vigilancia sistemática de la farmacorresistencia.

The report notes that the number of people in need of one or more assistive products is likely to rise to 3.5 billion by 2050, due to populations ageing and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases rising across the world. The report also highlights the vast gap in access between low- and high-inc...ome countries. An analysis of 35 countries reveals that access varies from 3% in poorer nations to 90% in wealthy countries.
Affordability is a major barrier to access, the report notes. Around two thirds of people with assistive products reported out-of-pocket payments for them. Others reported relying on family and friends to financially support their needs.
