What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of the antiretroviral therapy bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in HIV-1-infected patients by measuring virological suppression rates at 6 and 12 months. The study will utilize electronic monitoring caps to track adherence patterns and evaluate the relationship between adherence and treatment outcomes. A total of 120 participants will be followed over a two-year period to gather real-life data on the treatment's effectiveness and safety, as well as the quality of life of those treated. The study also aims to investigate the emergence of resistance mutations in cases of HIV RNA replication.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older living with HIV-1 who are starting or changing treatment to B/F/TAF.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, institutionalized, or unable to use electronic monitoring caps may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for HIV patients with varying levels of adherence.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar adherence-focused approaches in HIV treatment, suggesting potential for success.
