摘要
Generic antiretroviral drugs are pivotal in the implementation of WHO's '3 by 5' programme. However, clinical experience with generics in sub-Saharan Africa is insufficiently documented. We report on 50 patients with HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma treated with generic fixed-dose highly active antiretroviral therapy. At 52 weeks, 74% achieved an undetectable viral load of < 50 copies/ml, 86% achieved < 400 copies/ml, and a 3.1 log(10) decline from baseline. Side-effects were minimal. The outcomes support the use of generic antiretroviral therapy.
