Effectiveness of tenofovir/emtricitabine versus zidovudine/lamivudine in combination with efavirenz in antiretro viral-naive HIV infected patients / Siti Mahanim Shaik Ismail

Durable suppression of replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) depends on the use of potent, well-tolerated antiretroviral regimens to which patients can easily adhere. Combination of two NRTIs and one NNRTI is the best first line regimen in treating retroviral disease (RVD) as compare...

No statistically significant differences were observed in HIV RNA suppression at 24 weeks and 48 weeks (p = 0.407 and p = 0.521, respectively).
