Abbreviations: INSTI, integrase strand transfer inhibitor; K, thousand; NNRTI, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NRTI, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; PI, protease inhibitor; VL, viral load.

aFor a list of antiretroviral abbreviations, full clinical vignette details, as well as specific antiretroviral regimen responses, see Supplementary Tables 1–3.

bSecond-generation INSTIs were selected by providers (ie, dolutegravir, bictegravir, cabotegravir); no first-generation INSTIs were selected (ie, elvitegravir and raltegravir), with the exception of case S2, where the patient was already taking an elvitegravir-containing regimen; boosted darunavir was selected in all cases as the PI.

cCabotegravir/rilpivirine use as follows: S1, n = 11 (14.3%); S2, n = 12 (16.9%); S3, n = 14 (24.6%); S4, n = 1 (1.7%); S5, n = 30 (52.6%).
