Superiority of protease inhibitors over nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors when highly active antiretroviral therapy is resumed after treatment interruption. 2005

Service of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Carlos III, Madrid, Spain.

Forty-five human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients stopped taking treatment but resumed taking it thereafter. All 11 who resumed treatment with their prior protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen reattained an undetectable virus load, whereas this occurred for only 15 (44%) of 34 patients who resumed nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based treatment (P<.001). Distinct pharmacokinetics and resistance barriers may result in different performances for PIs and NNRTIs after treatment interruptions.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
