Abstract

Consecutive missed doses may differentially impact the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy associated with the use of a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI). In a cohort of 72 subjects receiving a boosted PI, average adherence to dosage was a better predictor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication than was the duration or frequency of treatment interruption. In contrast with an NNRTI, consecutive missed doses of a boosted PI did not emerge as a major risk factor for HIV replication
