Abstract
Because of the development of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the last few years, we now have safe, effective short- and long-term options and also simple regimens, with most combinations being administered once daily in one or 2 tablets and almost no treatment failures. Nevertheless, there are still reasons to switch an effective ART in patients who have been suppressed, a switch that must always be made without losing virological efficacy. With longer survival and the need for lifelong treatment, it is important to have simple and safe treatment options to improve the quality of life in patients with HIV. The EMERALD clinical trial demonstrates the non-inferiority of the switch to Symtuza®, a combination of darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide in a single tablet, in patients with sustained viral suppression. Supplement information: This article is part of a supplement entitled “Co-formulated cobicistat-boosted darunavir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide for the treatment of HIV infection”, which is sponsored by Janssen.
