The United States Secretary of State's "Emergency Humanitarian Waiver" will allow people to continue accessing life-saving HIV treatment, UNAIDS said on Wednesday.

Almost 1 in 10 patients receiving HIV care may have binge eating disorder (BED), a significantly higher rate than the 0.3% reported in the general population, according to a cross-sectional study. Individuals with possible BED were six times more likely than others to have clinical obesity and twice as likely to be overweight.
