Reasons to consider switching therapy in suppressed patients Older PIs: Reduce pill burden Decrease metabolic effects Decrease GI side effects Older NRTIs: d4t, ddi: SWITCH! (toxicity) AZT: consider switch (toxicity, side effects, simplification) Nevirapine: Reduce pill burden Not toxicity (most toxicity occurs with initiation) Efavirenz: CNS side effects No TAF-based coformulation TDF: If price the same, no advantage of TDF over TAF
