This study explored virological outcomes of two-drug (2DRs) and three-drug (3DRs) antiretroviral regimens in adults with HIV in the DC Cohort. We analyzed 310 treatment-experienced adults with sustained HIV RNA ≤50 copies/mL at baseline, 53 of whom switched to 2DRs and 257 continued 3DRs. Adults on 2DRs and 3DRs had similar demographics (median age 53.3 years, 76.8% cisgender male, 76.1% Black). Adults on 2DRs had more participants with ≥2 comorbidities (62.3% vs. 42.8%,  = .019), had a longer time since HIV diagnosis (median years 20.4 vs. 13.2,  = .017), and received the regimen of interest for a shorter duration (median years 1.3 vs. 3.3,  < .001) compared with adults on 3DRs. Adults receiving 2DRs had a higher, although nonsignificant, risk for virological failure (two consecutive HIV RNA ≥50 copies/mL) at 24 months follow-up than adults on 3DRs (6.7% vs. 1.7%, respectively;  = .10). Future analysis of the effectiveness of 2DRs is needed.

Background: Two-drug regimens (2DRs) have been introduced in recent years to potentially reduce antiretroviral therapy (ART) toxicities and drug-drug interactions while demonstrating comparable efficacy to three-drug regimens (3DRs) for people with HIV (PWH). The objective of this study was to compare the real-world effectiveness and durability of a single-tablet 2DR of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) with that of commonly prescribed 3DRs in ART-experienced, virologically suppressed PWH during the first 24 months of DTG/3TC availability in the United States.

Methods: Virologically suppressed (viral load [VL] < 200 copies/mL) adult PWH initiating DTG/3TC 2DR, bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF), or a DTG-based 3DR between 01MAY2019 and 31OCT2020 were identified in the OPERA cohort and followed through 30APR2021.

Background: Second-generation integrase strand transfer inhibitors (InSTIs) have a high barrier to resistance and potent antiretroviral activity. They are recommended as first- or second-line (FL and SL) options in two- and three-drug regimens (2DR and 3DR) in international treatment guidelines. However, there are limited real-world data on emerging resistance at the time of virological failure (VF) with these regimens.

To minimize the toxicity and impact of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) on the lifestyle of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH), scientific community evaluated the efficacy, safety and sustained virologic response of two drugs antiretroviral regimens, in particular dolutegravir (DTG). The effects of deintensification therapy on inflammatory settings are currently unknown in PLWH. Thus, our study explored the inflammatory state in virologically suppressed HIV individuals between patients in treatment with a DTG-containing dual therapy (2DR) versus triple regimen therapies (3DR).

Objectives: The availability of doravirine (DOR) allowed clinicians to prescribe a dolutegravir (DTG)-based two-drug regimen (2DR) in individuals not eligible to receive lamivudine (3TC) or rilpivirine (RPV). The aims of this study were to describe the durability of DTG + DOR compared with DTG/3TC and DTG/RPV and the rate of virological failure and target not-detected maintenance over time.

Methods: This retrospective, monocentric analysis included all subjects who started a DTG-based 2DR from 2018 to 2022 as a simplification.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the association of the country of birth and the other patients' characteristics with the prescription of two-drug regimens (2DRs) in virally suppressed people with HIV (PWH) in France.

Design: Observational study conducted from the national Dat'AIDS prospectively collected database.

Methods: We included all adults who were actively in care on 31 December 2020 in 26 French centers, with an HIV plasma viral load (pVL) <50 copies/ml for at least 6 months while on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
