Dual therapy with ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) plus lamivudine versus triple therapy with ritonavir-boosted PI plus two nucleos(t)ide reverse-transcriptase inhibitor in HIV-infected patients with viral suppression
2019
Abstract Background Dual antiretroviral regimens are attractive options to optimize the combination antiretroviral therapy in light of potential toxicities with long-term cumulative exposure to nucleos(t)ide reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Methods In this retrospective observational study, we included HIV-infected patients on suppressive antiretroviral therapy with plasma viral load (PVL) Results In total, 364 patients were included with 93 (25.5%) switched to dual therapy After 48 weeks of observation, PVL Conclusion Dual therapy with DRV/r or LPV/r plus lamivudine demonstrated similar effectiveness in maintaining viral suppression to triple therapy.
