UNC doctors continue fighting Ebola

CHAPEL HILL Ebola has proven itself time and again to be a menacing killer. The virus behind the world’s deadliest outbreak also is a stubborn survivor. Health care workers have saved some of its victims and scientists have found ways to eradicate the presence of the disease in specific settings. But even when subdued, Ebola has endured, always threatening another highly contagious outbreak. For Ebola fighters, such as UNC-Chapel Hill doctors Billy Fischer and David Wohl, November has been a month with good and bad news. On Nov. 17, an infant girl in Guinea born to an infected mother had received two negative tests for the virus and was believed to be the last known Ebola patient in the West African country.

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are recommended for first-line antiretroviral therapy in combination with two nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Co-formulated bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF), a novel, INSTI-based regimen, is currently approved in the US and EU for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and recommended as first-line treatment in current guidelines. In our current analysis, we aimed to determine changes in patient-reported symptoms over time among HIV-1-infected adults who initiated or switched to B/F/TAF versus another INSTI-based regimen, co-formulated abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC).
