- In the GEMINI studies, participants were required to take 2 separate pills each day: DTG 50 mg and 3TC 300 mg
- It is not known if this participant was selectively adherent (i.e. adherent to only DTG or 3TC, or to both pills) and selective adherence increases the risk of developing resistance-associated mutations
- As DOVATO is fixed-dose combination of DTG and 3TC, the risk of selective adherence to 1 component of the regimen is eliminated*

Few Confirmed Virological Withdrawals* at 3 Years¹



DTG 50 mg + 3TC 300 mg used in the GEMINI studies.
* Patients met confirmed virological withdrawal criteria if a second and consecutive HIV-1 RNA value met any of the following definitions: decrease from baseline in HIV-1 RNA of <1 log10 copies/mL unless HIV-1 RNA of <200 copies/mL by week 12; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA of ≥200 copies/mL after confirmed consecutive HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL.


*Patient withdrew due to lack of efficacy
^Patient regained virologic suppression
Virologically Suppressed Patients


Reassurance with a High Barrier to Resistance up to 96-Weeks
Reassurance with a High Barrier to Resistance up to 48-Weeks


Cases of Resistance-Associated Mutations²
No INI or NRTI Mutations Observed at Confirmed Virological Withdrawal*



* Patients met confirmed virological withdrawal criteria if they had 1 assessment with HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL after Day 1 with an immediately prior HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL.
