HIV ECHO อุดรธานี ครั้งที่ 2 recently focused on Dual Therapy, a treatment approach gaining traction in managing patients with HIV. This strategy involves using a combination of two antiretroviral drugs instead of the traditional three-drug regimen. The main goal of Dual Therapy is to minimize side effects and reduce the risk of drug resistance. In Thailand, healthcare providers are increasingly considering Dual Therapy as a viable option for their patients. However, managing patients on this regimen requires careful monitoring and adherence to ensure its effectiveness. It is essential for healthcare professionals to closely monitor patients' viral loads and CD4 counts regularly to assess treatment efficacy. Moreover, patient education plays a crucial role in Dual Therapy management. Patients must be informed about the importance of adherence to their medication regimen and the potential risks of non-compliance. Overall, with proper monitoring and patient education, Dual Therapy can be a successful treatment option for patients living with HIV in Thailand.
