Immunological, Cognitive, and Psychiatric Outcomes After Initiating Efavirenz- and Dolutegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy During Acute Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT:

Participants initiated 1 of 3 ART regimens during AHI: EFV-based (n = 131), DTG-based (n = 92), or DTG intensified with maraviroc (DTG/MVC, n = 35).
