Summary

This study tested whether a new combination of three HIV medicines (dolutegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide) at a special dose works well and is safe for children living with HIV in Africa. 53 children aged 28 days to 10 years took part. The goal is to create a single, easy-to-take tablet that dissolves in water, making it simpler for children to get the right dose every day.
