Thanks to the modern ARV regimens and the fact that the morbidity and mortality of metabolic syndrome increases with age, clinicians are continuously researching effective and safe antiretroviral regimens with low impact on the lipid profile. Doravir...

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) are associated with neuropsychiatric adverse events (NPAEs). The aim of this study was to evaluate improvements in NPAEs after switching an INSTI-based regimen to darunavir/cobicistat (DRV/c) or doravirine...

In the past, one of the most widely used non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) in first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) of HIV infection was efavirenz (EFV), which is already used as a cost-effective treatment in developing countr...

Doravirine (DOR) is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with efficacy against some NNRTI-resistant mutants. Although DOR resistance mutations are established for HIV-1 subtype B, it is less clear for non-B subtypes. This study in...

Background: Argentina has reported moderate to high levels of transmitted drug resistance in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), mostly to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Doravirine (DOR) has a unique resistance profile and...

Doravirine (DOR) is a newly approved non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). We aimed to investigate, in a real-life setting, how switching to a DOR-based regimen rather than a rilpivirine (RPV)-based regimen impacted metabolic and he...

Introduction: Doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DOR/3TC/TDF) is recommended for both ART initiation and switch in virologically suppressed patients. We report early real-world outcomes after DOR/3TC/TDF introduction in Belgrade, Se...

Doravarine (DOR) is an antiviral drug with a marketed authorization for the management of occupational blood and body fluid exposure. The currently existing packaging, consisting of multiple unit bottles comprising 30 tablets, is not fully appropriat...

This study explores the impact of antiretroviral administration on the expression of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), cell growth, and invasive capability of human melanoma cell lines in culture. We investigated three antiretrovirals—lami...

Melanoma is an aggressive cancer characterized by rapid growth, early metastasis, and poor prognosis, with resistance to current therapies being a significant issue. BRAF mutations drive uncontrolled cell division by activating the MAPK pathway. In t...

HIV reverse transcriptases (RTs) convert viral genomic RNA into double-stranded DNA. During reverse transcription, polypurine tracts (PPTs) resilient to RNase H cleavage are used as primers for plus-strand DNA synthesis. Nonnucleoside RT inhibitors (...

Islatravir (ISL) is a novel antiretroviral that inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase translocation. The M184V mutation, known to reduce ISL’s viral susceptibility in vitro, could arise from prolonged exposure to nucleoside reverse transcriptase...

In people living with HIV (PLHIV), integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are part of the first-line combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), while non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimens are alternatives. Disti...

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), one of the leading causes of infectious death globally, generates severe damages to people’s immune systems and makes them susceptible to serious diseases. To date, there are no drugs that completely r...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a type of virus that targets the body’s immune cells. HIV infection can be divided into three phases: acute HIV infection, chronic HIV infection, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV-infec...

A treatment-experienced, highly adherent person living with HIV for over 25 years developed resistance mutations against all four major ART classes, including bictegravir (BIC). This led to viral failure on a quadruple regimen including BIC and dorav...

Due to the improved effectiveness and safety of combined antiretroviral therapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has become a manageable, chronic condition rather than a mortal disease. However, HIV patients are at increased risk of expe...

Background: With advances in antiretroviral therapy for HIV treatment, newer drug combinations provide improved efficacy, safety, and compliance. This study evaluates switching to a regimen of doravirine (DOR), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), an...

In 2009, a list of nonpolymorphic HIV-1 drug resistance mutations (DRMs), called surveillance DRMs (SDRMs), was created to monitor transmitted drug resistance (TDR). Since 2009, TDR increased and antiretroviral therapy (ART) practices changed. We exa...

Dual therapies (DT) combining integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) with second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (2nd-Gen-NNRTIs) offer new possibilities for HIV treatment to improve adherence. However, drug resistan...
