People who switched single-tablet regimens from Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine) to Complera (rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine) maintained viral load suppression and saw improvement in central nervous system (CNS) side effects such as abnormal dreams and depression, according to a late-breaking poster presented at the 53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) this month in Denver. Other studies looked at the safety and efficacy of Complera among women and black patients.

Data from a small, yet well-designed trial to evaluate whether particular antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens penetrate the central nervous system (CNS) and enhance neurocognitive performance were among several interesting findings regarding neurological complications among people with HIV presented at the 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2013) this month in Atlanta. Another study looked at similarities between Alzheimer's disease and neurocognitive impairment in people with HIV.
