The effectiveness of the initial antiretroviral therapy regimen is the key to treatment success. However, regimen change affects this treatment success. Yet, evidence on the incidence and predictors of regimen change is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the incidence and predictors of initial antiretroviral therapy regimen change among HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral therapy.
