DOSE REDUCTION OF ANTIRETROVIRALS COULD INCREASE THEIR USE WORLDWIDE.

Antiretroviral dose reduction is a feasible approach to cost reduction and therefore wider access to HIV treatment. It would also reduce adverse events, improving tolerability and favouring adherence. We advocate for large, well-controlled non-inferiority trials the results of which could lead to a large scale reduction in antiretroviral doses.
