#Sustiva

However, an analysis of Swiss people with HIV found no significant change in the suicide rate in more recent years.

Researchers examined outcomes among a group of people in middle- and low-income nations who switched to the integrase inhibitor.

Women in a global study began an HIV treatment regimen based on one of the two drugs after 20 weeks of gestation.

Tivicay was associated with a higher rate of viral suppression at delivery compared with Sustiva.

The antiretroviral GS-6207 is injected under the skin and would need to be combined with other meds to fully suppress HIV.

More high-quality evidence is needed to determine how this class of HIV medications may affect weight gain.

A large ongoing study in Botswana has found that about 1 in 150 babies exposed to Tivicay at conception developed such birth defects.

In a recent study, Edurant was better tolerated and less toxic and led to fewer discontinuations.

Various other studies have indeed found such a link.

Sustiva was connected to a 3.3-fold greater risk of suicidal behaviors in a new analysis.

Most of such drug resistance seen is to older drugs.

The tablet contains the same combo as Symfi Lo (efavirenz/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) but with a higher dose of efavirenz.

This finding comes from an analysis of the global START study, which proved in 2015 that starting HIV treatment early is best.

After a gay man tested HIV positive, a test of his hair indicated he’d adhered well to PrEP—but did he contract a drug-resistant strain?

Investigators behind the recent study that raised this concern suggest not combining the two until more research can be done.
