Abstract:
We determined risk of virologic failure (VF) in individuals initiating tenofovir/emtricitabine/efavirenz as single versus multiple tablet regimens (MTR). We found no significant difference in the risk of VF, though did observe a trend toward more VF and M184 V mutations among persons initiating MTR. Temporal trends in care may have confounded results.
