Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral suppression was evaluated after receipt of crushed or dissolved bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) administered via enteral tube during hospitalization. Eighty-nine percent of patients (17/19) were virally suppressed (<200 copies/mL) within 1 year of receiving B/F/TAF via tube, suggesting that administration via tube is a reasonable alternative to changing antiretroviral regimens.
期刊介绍:
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
