Bold numbers indicate differences between strategies.
Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; ART, antiretroviral therapy; BG, baseline genotype; DRV/r, ritonavir-boosted darunavir; DTG, dolutegravir; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; NNRTI-R, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors resistance; NRTI-R, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors resistance; PI-R, protease inhibitors resistance; RPV, rilpivirine; SD, standard deviation; TDR, transmitted drug resistance.
aExamined ranges for ART efficacy are reported in footnotes c, d, and e due to space restrictions.
bDTG- and RPV-based regimen suppression is based on treatment-naive patient populations given that these regimens are prescribed early in ART treatment. DRV/r-based regimen suppression is based on treatment-experienced patient populations given that this regimen is prescribed later in the care cascade.
cDTG-based regimen suppression with transmitted NRTI-R: base case, 82%; range, 40%–93%.
dRPV-based regimen suppression with transmitted NRTI-R: base case, 57%; range, 20%–80%.
eRPV-based regimen suppression with transmitted NNRTI-R: base case, 40%; range, 20%–80%.
fART regimen costs are based on average wholesale price and discounted by 23% for branded drugs. ART regimens costs do not differ by choice of NRTI.
