Background: Ainuovirine, as a third-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor against HIV-1, is widely used in China. To evaluate its therapeutic efficacy and disadvantages, a comparative study based on Ainuovirine had been conducted.
Method: We investigated 199 people living with HIV-1 who received Ainuovirine (ANV)/lamivudine/tenofovir and 202 people living with HIV-1 who received Efavirenz (EFV)/lamivudine/tenofovir.
Antiretroviral regimens for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have continuously evolved; however, antiretrovirals can cause severe adverse reactions. Two-drug regimen therapy can decrease lifetime cumulative drug exposure and long-term toxicities associated with multiple antiretrovirals. The preferred 2-drug regimen constitutes dolutegravir (DTG) and lamivudine (3TC).

This study investigates the distribution of various HIV-1 genotypes and the incidence of pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) in the antiretroviral-naive HIV-1 infected participants in Xi'an, China.
Patients And Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional analysis was carried out at the Xi'an Eighth Hospital between January 2020 and December 2021 among newly-diagnosed ART-naive HIV-1 infected participants.
