NCT ID: NCT02495779

Last Updated: 2019-03-27

Results Overview

Biological measure of medication in the blood. Adherence will be measured using plasma analyses. We used the cut off of 4 doses/week to determine protective levels of adherence. The determination of this was drug levels equal to TFV 4.2 ng/mL FTC 4.6 ng/mL.
