Full results from the Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment (START) trial provide definitive evidence that starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) soon after HIV diagnosis, rather than waiting until the CD4 T-cell count falls below 500 cells/mm3, significantly reduces the risk of AIDS-related and non-AIDS illness and death, researchers reported at the 8th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention last month in Vancouver.

A program at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) that offers antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the same day as HIV diagnosis led to a high rate of treatment uptake and more rapid viral load suppression than standard practices, according to late-breaking study findings presented at the 8th International AIDS Society Conference this week in Vancouver. Newly diagnosed people with HIV and clinic providers both expressed enthusiasm about the RAPID program, which is now being implemented more widely as part of the city's Getting to Zero initiative.

A NRTI-sparing dual antiretroviral regimen consisting of the NNRTI rilpivirine (Edurant) plus the boosted HIV protease inhibitor darunavir (Prezista) maintained viral suppression and was well-tolerated by people who switched from a standard 3-drug regimen, according to results from the PROBE study presented at the recent 8th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Vancouver.
