CONCLUSIONS
High quality evidence shows that in patients with HIV-1 infection the use of tenofovir plus emtricitabine in combination with fixed doses of atazanavir/cobicistat did not prove to be inferior to its use associated to atazanavir plus ritonavir; outcome was the rate of patients reaching an undetectable viral load (less than 50 copies/mL) at Week 48 and maintaining the response at Week 144. The adverse event profile and treatment discontinuation due to AE were similar.
The clinical practice guidelines consider it among the valid treatment alternatives but it is not among the preferred schemes to be used in patients with HIV-1 infection. In high-income countries, it is covered by public and private health sponsors, while in Latin American countries it is not.
