A new long-acting HIV drug combination could expand treatment options for people with drug resistance. In a UCSF study, everyone achieved or maintained an undetectable viral load, including those who had detectable HIV when they started. Clinical trials are next. https://ow.ly/g3KJ5100hob
How a New Long-Acting HIV Drug Combo Tackles Resistance
A new long-acting HIV treatment could expand options for people who have trouble taking daily pills and whose virus is resistant to some commonly used HIV drugs, according to a new UCSF study. This drug combination could offer an option for people whose virus is resistant to a key drug in the only approved long-acting combination treatment.
