Over 26 weeks of Sunlenca combined with other antiretroviral drugs, 81 percent of participants achieved HIV RNA suppression, reaching levels low enough to be considered undetectable. Both trials concluded with maintained virologic suppression, and no clinically significant change from baseline in CD4+ cell counts was observed.
