Taking breaks from antiretroviral therapy on the weekend did not lead to viral rebound or other problems for adolescents and young adults who had prolonged viral suppression on efavirenz-based regimens, according to a presentation at the 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) this week in Seattle.
Karina Butler from Columbia University in New York presented the findings and summarized them at a CROI press conference.
For more information about the study and its findings, see Week-on, Weekend-Off HIV Treatment Controls Viral Load in Young People.
