Detailed explanation-1: -Combinations of NRTIs make it possible to take lower doses and maintain effectiveness. These drugs include Combivir (Zidovudine and Lamivudine), Trizivir (Zidovudine, Lamivudine and Abacavir), Epzicom (Abacavir and Lamivudine) and Truvada (Tenofovir and Lamivudine).
Detailed explanation-2: -ART involves taking a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV treatment regimen) every day. ART is recommended for everyone who has HIV. ART cannot cure HIV, but HIV medicines help people with HIV live longer, healthier lives. ART also reduces the risk of HIV transmission.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most current guidelines consider triple-drug combinations for therapy-naïve PLWH, which should start ART containing two NRTIs plus one of the following: a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (bPI), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or an integrase inhibitor (INI) 13.
Detailed explanation-4: -The rationale for combining anti-HIV-1 agents is to provide more complete viral suppression, to limit the emergence of drug resistance during chronic viral replication, and to provide more effective antiretroviral treatment even when mixtures of drug-resistant and drug-sensitive strains are present.
