How much of an impact are the once-a-day medications having on HIV treatment?
The impact upon the treatment of HIV-infected patients currently is limited. As time goes on and there are more and more drugs that can be given once a day, doctors are going to find more and more patients on those therapies. Physicians will mix and match drugs in different ways to put together a regimen for patients. If you can decrease the number of pills that someone needs to take per day and decrease the side effects, patients are likely to take the medications more reliably, and that’s what has to be done.
