Switching to a 2-drug antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen containing an integrase strand transfer inhibitor plus a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (INSTI+NRTI) is highly effective and well tolerated among virologically suppressed patients with HIV, according to study findings published in HIV Medicine.

Investigators conducted an observational cohort analysis (COMBINE-2) to evaluate real-world effectiveness and safety outcomes among adults with HIV who switched to an oral INSTI+NRTI dual ART regimen while already suppressed (viral load <50 copies/mL).
