Combination Therapy with Efavirenz, Nelfinavir, and Nucleoside Reverse-Transcriptase Inhibitors in Children Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Abstract
Consistent long-term viral suppression has been difficult to achieve in children with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. We tested the safety and antiviral efficacy of a novel combination consisting of efavirenz, nelfinavir, and one or more nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors in 57 children previously treated with only nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors.
