Background: To evaluate the non-inferiority of low dose efavirenz (400 mg) to standard dose efavirenz (600 mg), when taken in combination with tenofovir and lamivudine in Indian patients with HIV-1 infection.

Methods: An open-label, interventional phase IV study with blinded assessment was conducted across 17 sites in India. HIV-1-infected antiretroviral therapy-naive adult patients (≥18 years of age) with a plasma HIV-1 viral load of at least 1000 copies per mL were randomized to receive either tenofovir/lamivudine/efavirenz (TLE) 400 or TLE 600.
