Study notes
A newly diagnosed HIV patient starts tenofovir + lamivudine + dolutegravir the same week. Treat-all ART begins immediately regardless of CD4 — dolutegravir-based regimens suppress virus fast with few side effects (watch weight gain, neural tube caution in early pregnancy). Viral load at 6 months confirms suppression; undetectable = untransmittable (U=U). The counseling message: one pill daily, lifelong, keeps you healthy and non-infectious — adherence is the medicine's other half.
