One of the studies at IAS 2025 with difficult but very clear results reported by Adeodata Kekitiinwa from the Baylor Foundation Uganda, that taking TLD (tenofovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir) on a 5-on 2-off dosing in the BREATHER Plus study was not as effective as daily dosing.
These results were not expected as the original BREATHER study (PENTA-16), also in adolescents, showed that reduced dosing was both as effective as daily ART and was also preferred by participants.
