Abstract

The development of newer agents such as raltegravir, etravirine and maraviroc has improved the perspective of viral load suppression. However, there is not enough data regarding their use together. In this study, we describe nine patients who were triple-class experienced and were on a salvage regimen consisting of a combination of raltegravir, etravirine, and maraviroc. Our results showed that this regimen is safe with no major side effect and has good virological efficacy with two-thirds of the patients achieving an undetectable viral load by 24 weeks.
