In this setting of virologically suppressed PLWH, simplifying to dolutegravir + lamivudine was associated with a higher gain in BTL than maintaining triple therapy after the 1 year follow-up. These findings suggest that as a simplification strategy dolutegravir + lamivudine might have a positive effect on BTL.
