The VERxVE and TRANxITION clinical trials have demonstrated the noninferiority of NVP-XR compared with nevirapine immediate-release (NVP-IR) on viral load after 24 and 48 months of treatment. The tolerance profiles of NVP-XR and NVP-IR are similar. Simplifying the treatment dosage for NVP would likely improve adherence to antiretroviral treatments.Keywords: nevirapine extended release, HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy, efficacy, safetyPefura Yone EWKengne APDove Medical PressarticleImmunologic diseases.
