Abstract

Expert consensus on HIV-1 protease inhibitors—much like the broader question of when and in whom to start therapy—seems to swing back and forth. In The Lancet today, Joseph Eron and colleagues1 present unexpected results from two multicentre non-inferiority trials (SWITCHMRK 1 and 2), which were identically designed to assess whether switching of the protease inhibitor component of a treatment regimen to an integrase inhibitor would reduce adverse effects (especially hyperlipidaemia) while maintaining viral-load suppression.
