ViiV Healthcare press release

London, 27 July 2026 – ViiV Healthcare, the global specialist HIV company majority owned by GSK, with Shionogi as a shareholder, today announced data to be presented this week at the 26th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2026) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from the phase IIIb VOGUE study. Data show that Dovato (dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC)) demonstrated non-inferior efficacy to Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF)) in treatment-naïve adults living with HIV, including people with high viral loads or a low CD4+ cell count. The findings also reinforced DTG/3TC’s high barrier to resistance, with zero cases of treatment-emergent resistance identified across treatment arms.
