Once-Daily, Single-Tablet Regimens For the Treatment of HIV-1 Infection

William R Truong et al. P T. 2015 Jan.

Once-daily, single-tablet regimens have become integral to the management of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection, partly because they may improve adherence due to a lower pill burden. This article reviews the single-tablet options.
