IAS 2015: Rilpivirine + Darunavir HIV Maintenance Regimen Matches Standard 3-Drug ART

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.
