In four of five HIV-1 and HIV-2 dually infected patients treated with efavirenz-based therapy, viral load was undetectable for HIV-1 only, with limited increase in CD4+ counts. Both viral loads were undetectable and CD4+ counts increased in one patient treated with protease inhibitor regimen. Specific guidelines for treating HIV-dually infected patients are needed that should avoid the use of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
