Article Synopsis
- The main goal of second-line therapy for HIV-1 patients is to restore effective viral suppression, particularly in settings with limited treatment options.
- A study involving 95 patients in Thailand showed that a regimen of boosted protease inhibitor plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors was the most common choice for second-line treatment, leading to significant improvements in patient outcomes over time.
- Factors such as good treatment adherence, a higher initial CD4 count, and earlier disease staging were linked to better virologic success, indicating the need for improved access to second-line ART in such environments.
