LIVERPOOL University was awarded funding by Elton John to help HIV positive patients.
The star’s Aids foundation helped the university develop a website that helps patients manage their treatment.
Sir Elton said: “Over the past three years we’ve made enormous progress in scaling up treatment around the world. We need to be sure treatment can be managed well.
“ To do that, the world’s healthcare professionals need to know as much as possible about the drugs they prescribe. This project will help them maintain safe treatment for thousands of people living with HIV.”
The website provides a guide to the interactions between HIV drugs and other medication.
Professor David Back said: “We are delighted to receive this award which will enable us to provide HIV patients and healthcare professionals in the UK and overseas with access to information about HIV drug interactions that is relevant, reliable and up-to-date.”
