HIV drug showdown: which regimen keeps the virus in check?
NCT ID NCT06393387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at medical records of 800 people with HIV to compare two drug combinations: a two-drug regimen (DTG/3TC) and a three-drug regimen (BIC/F/TAF). The goal was to see how well each kept the virus suppressed over 48 weeks. Participants were adults already on HIV treatment, and the study focused on real-world effectiveness across multiple clinics in the Southeast US.
