Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was first documented in the United States in 1981. Since that time, significant strides have been made in the prevention and treatment of the condition. Screening is paramount in identifying early infection and is now a routine component of care, and appropriate management with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) extends patients’ lives, sometimes for many years. However, therapy is lifelong and complicated by pill burden, cost, adverse effects, drug interactions, and disparities. This Twitter-based discussion elaborates on evidence/guidelines for ART optimization, the need for individualized care when selecting ART therapy for treatment-experienced patients with HIV, and concludes with an overview of emerging antiretrovirals (ARVs).
