First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested whether switching to a two-drug combination (raltegravir plus maraviroc) could reduce belly fat in people with well-controlled HIV. It included 48 adults who had been on stable HIV therapy for years and had excess belly fat. The trial was stopped early, so the results are limited, but the goal was to find a simpler treatment that also improves body shape.
