New Paradigms of First-Line HIV Therapy: Determining When (and With What) to Start

A Podcast Discussion With Eric Daar, M.D., and Trevor Hawkins, M.D.

Selecting an initial antiretroviral regimen for an HIV-infected patient may seem easier than it has ever been, but it has often been said that the management of HIV/AIDS is more of an art than a science. Although it may be tempting to simply prescribe a single pill and be done with it, there are many factors to take into consideration when choosing antiretroviral therapy, from coinfections and underlying diseases to the potential complications of adherence and HIV drug resistance. In this installment of HIV Management Today, we consult with some of the top clinical minds in HIV on some of the most important issues in HIV/AIDS clinical management.
