    A participant in the HPTN 083 trial achieved sustained HIV viral suppression using TDF, 3TC, and DTG despite transmitted resistance to these drugs.

  • 2

    Retrospective genotyping revealed major resistance mutations in the participant's virus, indicating multi-class resistance prior to ART initiation.

  • 3

    The participant's viral load decreased from over one million copies/mL to <40 copies/mL within 11 months of starting ART.

  • 4

    Pharmacologic testing showed that DTG concentrations were sufficient to overcome the effects of major INSTI resistance mutations.

  • 5

    This case highlights the potential for effective ART in patients with transmitted drug resistance, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment.
