Boosted PIs Are More Forgiving of Non Adherence than Non-boosted PIs or NNRTI 

The lack of an association between adherence and maintained viral suppression at a threshold of 95% adherence suggests that boosted PI are more forgiving of non-adherence than either unboosted PI or NNRTI, according to a stdy presented at the 13th CROI.

Individuals who are at high risk of suboptimal adherence any experience higher rates of effectiveness using boosted PI-based regimens.
