Abstract

For a number of antiretroviral drugs, prolonged suppression of viral replication is related to drug exposure. Therefore, it is important to maintain stable concentrations during prolonged therapy. While studies suggest that saquinavir concentrations decrease over time, we show that concentrations of zidovudine, stavudine, lamivudine, abacavir, and nevirapine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid are stable during 2 years of therapy
