Researchers calculated that 20% of patients who needed to switch antiretrovirals because of certain DAA interactions could not switch because of antiretroviral resistance.
 
This retrospective study involved 125 HIV/HCV-coinfected adults with antiretrovirals prescribed within the last year. All participants were in care at an academic medical center in Denver. Researchers assessed potential interactions between each person's antiretroviral regimen and four possible DAA combinations: simeprevir and sofosbuvir (SIM/SOF), sofosbuvir and ledipasvir (SOF/LDV), sofosbuvir and daclatasvir (SOF/DCV), and ritonavir-boosted paritaprevir plus dasabuvir and ombitasvir (3D). The analysis did not explore potential interactions between non-HIV drugs and DAAs.
