It was in the year 2019 when the World Health Organisation (WHO) formally recommended the drug dolutegravir (DTG) as the most preferred antiretroviral therapy (ART) for those people who are suffering, or living with HIV, especially in middle-income countries. The global health body cited that this drug is more effective, less costly, and less prone t developing drug resistance than the previously recommended treatment options for HIV. In a recent study, published in the journal eClinicalMedicine, the experts have confirmed these findings about DTG and weight gain, and it also found that people living with HIV who take DTG may also have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure.
