Evaluate the Efficacy and Security of Darunavir/Ritonavir 900/100 mg Once a Day as an Antiretroviral Treatment Simplification Strategy

Summary

Basing in studies which have related the darunavir (DRV) virtual inhibitory quotient (vIQ) with the virological response, it is possible to think in the possibility of simplifying the rescue treatment with DRV/ritonavir to 900/100 mg once a day in those patients who are being treated with DRV/ritonavir 600/100 mg twice a day and who, besides having undetectable viral load, have a vIQ over 2. This strategy would not jeopardize the efficacy of the antiretroviral treatment and would have less impact in the lipid profile of the patients as well as less pharmaceutical expenditure.
