Extended Treatment With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in Treatment-Experienced HIV-1–Infected Patients: Genotypic, Phenotypic, and Rebound Analyses

Adding tenofovir DF (300 mg) to existing antiretroviral therapy for highly treatment-experienced patients with preexisting resistance mutations showed significant and durable reductions in HIV-1 RNA levels through week 96. Through 96 weeks of tenofovir DF therapy, 48 weeks of which included suboptimal doses of tenofovir DF, there was infrequent development of RT mutations associated with tenofovir DF therapy (K65R mutation, 3%), consistent with the durability of the observed HIV-1 RNA responses.
