Janssen-Cilag, a subsidiary of US health care giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), announced on Wednesday that National Health Service (NHS) England would provide funding for its new HIV-1 treatment.

Rezolsta is a once-daily, fixed-combination of darunavir and cobicistat, indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral medications.

The NHS backing means that across England, clinicians will be able to routinely prescribe darunavir – the UK's most prescribed protease inhibitor – combined with a booster – in only one tablet, to adults living with HIV-1.
