A NRTI-sparing first-line antiretroviral regimen of raltegravir (Isentress) plus ritonavir-boosted darunavir (Prezista) worked as well as standard therapy containing tenofovir/emtricitabine (the drugs in Truvada), according to results from the NEAT 001 trial presented at the 21st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2014) last week in Boston.
