Antiretroviral combination therapy raises issues of long-term adherence and toxicity. Initial treatment simplification based on single-drug therapy was investigated in the MONARK trial, which compared first-line lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy (arm A) with first-line lopinavir/ritonavir + zidovudine/lamivudine tritherapy (arm B). The MONARK trial is registered as a randomized trial at clinical trials.gov under identifier NCT 00234923.
