Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to address the gap in published data on viral suppression among people meeting the criteria for virologic failure on dolutegravir (DTG)-based ART regimens without a change in regimen. The study will also assess the emergence of DTG-associated drug-resistant mutations and their impact on viral suppression.
