BIC = bictegravir
DRV = darunavir
DTG = dolutegravir
F/TAF = FTC/TAF = Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide
F/TDF = FTC/TDF = Emtricitabine/Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
B/F/TAF = BIC/FTC/TAF = Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (single tablet regimen)
DTG/ABC/3TC = Dolutegravir/Abacavir/Lamivudine (single tablet regimen)
DTG + F/TAF = DTG + FTC/TAF = Dolutegravir + Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (multi-tablet regimen)
D/C/F/TAF = DRV/COBI/FTC/TAF = Darunavir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (single tablet regimen)
DTG/3TC = Dolutegravir/Lamivudine (single tablet regimen)
CAB = Cabotegravir
CAB + RPV = Cabotegravir + Rilpivirine
