Abstract

In many African countries, the standardised WHO-recommended combination of tenofovir and lamivudine as nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), with efavirenz or nevirapine as a non-NRTI (NNRTI), had been preferably used in first-line therapy among adolescents and adults living with HIV.1 However, the high levels of pretreatment drug resistance to NNRTI has prompted WHO to recommend dolutegravir as a component of first-line, second-line, and third-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens.
