Abstract

In a randomised comparison of nevirapine or abacavir with zidovudine + lamivudine, routine viral load monitoring was not performed yet 27% of individuals with viral failure at w48 re-suppressed by w96 without switching. This supports WHO recommendations that suspected viral failure should trigger adherence counselling and repeat measurement before considering treatment switch.
