aAll participants had viral load <50 copies/mL at last visit;
btwo women had multiple causes of discontinuation: one with muscle aches and asthenia and one with headache, CNS symptoms, and muscle aches;
cviral load was 15 135 copies/mL before discontinuation. Virologic suppression achieved on bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide;
dviral load was 124 copies/mL before discontinuation. Virologic suppression achieved on DTG + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine.
