Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improvement in treatment satisfaction by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVTSQ survey.48 weeks

Improvement in treatment satisfaction by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVTSQ survey. The range of scores is between -33 and +33. The higher the score, the greater the improvement in satisfaction. Satisfaction may be positive or negative.

Improvement in overall quality of life as characterized by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVDQoL survey.48 weeks

Improvement in overall quality of life as characterized by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVDQoL survey. The range of scores is between -9 to +3. The higher the score the greater the impact. Impacts may be positive or negative.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at end of studyWeek 48

Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load \< 50 c/mL at end of study (Week 48) using FDA snapshot analysis, which defined a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined timepoint within a certain window of time, along with study drug discontinuation.

Percentage of Participants experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) through End of Study (Week 48)Week 48

An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related . An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of a study intervention.

Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at W24Week 24

Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load \< 50 c/mL at W24 using FDA snapshot analysis, which defined a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined timepoint within a certain window of time, along with study drug discontinuation.

Percentage of patients who reduced their number of total medications from baseline.Week 48

Percentage of patients who reduced their number of total medications from baseline. Polypharmacy is defined as 5 or more prescription medications and the Beers Criteria is utilized as a tool to evaluate potentially inappropriate prescriptions in this population.
