Virologically Suppressed Patients Have Fewer HIV Treatment Regimen Changes Due to Side Effects
In a recent study, researchers found that the rate of HIV regimen change due to side effects is relatively low in virologically suppressed patients--approximately 39% of 508 study participants--and that certain regimens are associated with even fewer treatment changes.
Specifically, treatment regimen combinations that were less likely to be changed due to toxicity included atazanavir, efavirenz, or tenofovir, while there was an increased risk of change due to toxicity in regimens containing lopinavir/ritonavir or stavudine. Several demographic factors were also found to be associated with regimen change. Study results indicate that certain regimens have the potential for long-term use if treatment toxicities are minimized.
