Flashcard 660: What is the first-line ART for all patients with confirmed HIV-2 or HIV-1 and HIV-2 coinfection?

Answer: Tenofovir (TDF) + Lamivudine (3TC) + Dolutegravir (DTG)

Extra: HIV-2 is intrinsically resistant to NNRTIs (e.g., Efavirenz, Nevirapine). Current WHO and NACO guidelines recommend a Dolutegravir-based regimen (TLD) as the first-line treatment for HIV-1, HIV-2, and HIV-1/HIV-2 coinfection. Historically, a boosted PI-based regimen (e.g., TDF + 3TC + Lopinavir/ritonavir) was the standard for HIV-2, but DTG is now preferred due to higher efficacy and better tolerability.
