Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
This trial is testing whether a newer two-drug HIV regimen called Dovato (dolutegravir and lamivudine) works as well as a standard three-drug regimen in people whose HIV is already well-controlled. Researchers want to understand how the medication affects both viral control and immune health, and whether it causes fewer side effects than the three-drug option.
Newer two-drug HIV regimens may offer benefits like fewer pills, fewer side effects, and lower cost compared to traditional three-drug combinations—but researchers need more detailed information to confirm that the medication is equally safe and effective in the long term.

You will be randomly assigned to either switch to the two-drug regimen Dovato or to continue on (or switch to) a three-drug regimen called Biktarvy. Throughout the study, you will attend regular visits for blood tests to monitor your viral load, immune system, and overall health. The research team will also track changes in weight and metabolic markers to understand how the medication affects your body.
