Abstract

Summary: Adherence interventions are a recommended strategy to salvage failing antiretroviral therapy without regimen change. We assessed the durability of resuppression when using this approach. Of 300 patients who resuppressed on the same regimen (41% of all those with virologic failure), 148 (45%) remained suppressed during follow-up for a median of 2.4 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 1.1, 4.0). Resuppression can be durable following viraemia without a switch in antiretroviral therapy regimen.
