Abstract
A co-formulated, one pill once a day antiretroviral regimen (single-tablet regimen), containing efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxyl fumarate (Atripla), revolutionized the antiretroviral therapy landscape. Single-tablet regimens provide not only dosing convenience but help optimize adherence and persistence with antiretroviral therapy to achieve durably suppressed viremia with both individual and societal benefits. Given the many excellent options available now, single-tablet regimens are the preferred choice for initiating antiretroviral therapy in almost all patients with rare exceptions for drug interactions and pregnancy, and for simplification of more complex antiretroviral therapy to a single-tablet regimen. In this special commemorative article, we celebrate this astounding advancement in antiretroviral therapy, championed by John C. Martin while CEO of Gilead Sciences, and its transformative impact on HIV care nationally and globally.
