Efavirenz-Based Therapy Effective in Highly Suppressed HIV-1–Infected Patients

Summary

In the ADVANZ-3 trial, among patients with advanced HIV-1, 96 weeks of daily combination treatment with efavirenz plus tenofovir/emtricitabine is as effective in increasing CD4+ T-cell levels as daily combination treatment using atazanavir/ritonavir plus tenofovir/emtricitabine or lopinavir/ritonavir plus tenofovir/emtricitabine. Similar improvements are also seen for inflammation, coagulation, and bacterial translocation markers.
