      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
