Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: AJP has received funding from the Wellcome Trust as a personal Fellowship grant (108065/Z/15/Z); has received payment from the PENTA Foundation to provide online teaching materials in paediatric HIV; and was an invited speaker at a meeting unrelated to the submitted work in South Africa in April 2014 (81st Nestle Nutrition Institute Workshop Program). The institution of DMG (MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL) receives funding for her participation on the ViiV cabotegravir advisory board; and as grants from the EU, MRC UK, Wellcome Trust, and Department of International Development (DFID). ViiV, Gilead, Merck, Cipla, and Mylan have donated drugs for trials supported by this funding. DMG is a current member of the Joint Global Health Trials panel for MRC, Wellcome Trust, and DFID; has reviewed grants for EU and chaired EDCTP grant review board, for which DMG receives no direct funding. The institution of ASW (MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL) has received funding for her participation in Data Safety Monitoring Boards (Janssen) and lecturing (Gilead Sciences).
