CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Results from the ARTEN* trial presented at the

(nevirapine) and ritonavir boosted atazanavir (atazanavir/r) both combined with
tenofovir and emtricitabine (Truvada(R)). This head-to-head study also showed
Viramune(R)'s more favourable effect on the lipid profile and now clearly
