Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although many drug regimens have been used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) of India recommends the use of a fixed-dose combination of tenofovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD) as a first-line regimen since 2020. In spite of much global data on the use of this combination, experience in the Indian population is still limited. We aim to find out the efficacy and tolerability of this novel regimen, in a tertiary care center of Eastern India.
