Relationship between adherence and maintenance of virologic suppression evaluated in subset of REACH cohort: homeless or marginally housed with HIV RNA <50 c/mL (n=221) VL and adherence by unannounced pill counts measured monthly ART: NNRTI (38%); Boosted PI (32%) With longer duration of viral suppression, adherence >50% becomes more likely to maintain viral suppression Longer Duration of Virologic Suppression Decreases Risk for Virologic Failure Rosenblum M, et al. 16th CROI; Montreal, Canada; February 8-11, Abst. 583.
BENCHMRK: RAL Plasma Pharmacokinetics Are Not Predictive of Response RAL Effective Across Range of Trough Levels Trough concentrations do not predict RAL effectiveness Prolonged pre-integration complex binding may explain the lack of correlation with trough concentration Miller M, et al. 48th ICAAC/46th IDSA, Washington, DC, Abst.
