Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and the clinical tolerance of a combination containing TDF/FTC/EFV in the treatment of HIV infection. This was a retrospective and descriptive study which included 196 adults infected by HIV-1 and treated by a combination containing TDF/FTC/EFV during 29 months in the daily hospital of Bobo Dioulasso. The median duration of follow-up was 7 months IQR [5-14 month]. The median age was 37 years IQR [31-45].With the initiation of treatment ARV, the median of the index of body mass was of 19 IQR [17-22]. The median of the lymphocytes TCD4 was 201/μl IQR [74-298/μl]. During the follow-up, we reported 25 deaths (12.8%). HIV-1 RNA plasma viral load was undetectable in 91.9% of the patients (124/135) at six months of treatment. The majority of the adverse effects of the treatment were of a neurosensory nature (40.5%). The TDF/FTC/EFV combination showed a good effectiveness in the treatment of the infection with HIV-1 in the first intention just as a good clinical tolerance.
