Abstract

Adding nevirapine to zidovudine and didanosine improved the long-term immunologic and virologic effects of therapy and was associated with severe rash among the patients studied, who had had extensive previous therapy. These results support 1) the continuing development of combinations of more than two antiretroviral drugs to increase and prolong HIV-1 suppression and 2) the potential utility of nevirapine in combination regimens.
