REFNo: HS333ES

The aims of this trial are: To determine whether a regimen of DTG with two NRTIs is non-inferior to a regimen of DRV/r with two NRTIs as second-line therapy in patients failing on an NNRTI-based first-line regimen in the setting of the public health approach in sub-Saharan Africa, with substantial NRTI cross-resistance.

To determine whether continuing tenofovir and lamivudine is non-inferior to switching to zidovudine and lamivudine in a second-line therapy regimen in patients failing on an NNRTI-based first-line regimen in the setting of the public health approach.
